What is your oil pressure???
What is your oil pressure??? I'm working on a project and need some help with what people's typical oil pressures are.
I have a washer behind the spring and see over 70psi at full boogie and probably around 30 at idle. Seems kinda high so I want to know what pressures are typical for most people.
So if you don't mind:
Hot idle / Hot WOT
Thanks,
Roger

99 ta with 100k miles, stock everything. mobil 1 5w30 synthetic. 30psi hot (200*) idle 60psi hot wot 5500+ rpm.
something odd i've noticed is that it goes from 30psi up to 40psi @ 1200 rpm and only makes 40psi until 4k or so. then goes up to 60 on the nose around 5500.

just over 40 idle, just over 40 driving, just over 40 cold start.
I wonder if my gauge is working?
I rarely take the car wot and when I do, I'm not looking at the oil pressure gauge, but the object/situation that made me go wot. From what I recall though, it was up around 50 when I was paying very close attention to this, but that was back during mid summer, 90 degeree days.
totally stock, worn out LS1, barely alive btw.

Forged 347 w/SLP oil pump & Mobil 1 10w30 Extended Performance. Total Seal brand moly coated rings:
Cold:
Idle = 50-60psi
WOT = I don't go WOT when the motor is cold...
Mostly warm oil:
Idle = ~40psi
WOT = ~55-~65+
See below for hot oil pressure (68+ at WOT):
