Normal oil pressure on a 02 TA WS6?
What is the normal oil pressure suppose to sit at on a warm engine and during driving? I think mine might be a little on the high side but then again I'm fairly new to the LS based cars.

A "normal" at-idle reading can be anything from 25-50psi, depending on a varitey of factors. The factory OP gage isn't the most accurate, either.

Sorry for adding to this old thread but I'm unsure how you's are seeing your oil pressure in "psi"? See, my guage the in Firehawk doesn't say "psi"~! It has really high numbers on it like 240 or something? So where on the guage is normal? Mine is half at idle and three quarters or so under load. That normal?

Yes your reading is normal.
In Canada the gauges are metric your reading is in kilapascals.
The reading in the middle would equal 40 psi.
I have a TA imported from the US so its all Standard measure.
