60 PSI before I had to change the oil pressure sending unit. Now it reads 50. Without a mechanical gauge its hard to say. The dash gauge is horribly inaccurate.

I chose the Melling 10295 for the last build. With increased tolerances and 15-40 Rotella conventional oil, oil pressure at 6500 is mid 70s.

Hmm alright so now can anyone confirm that 10295 and M295 are identical except 10295 has the higher pressure spring? So if you bought 10295 and put in the optional low pressure spring, would you have an M295???
