idle or driving, and depends on what oil you use

i have Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30 and a K&N oil filter
just about at 40psi at idle and just under 80psi when revving in neutral
car is in storage right now, so i cant take a quick drive around the block to see what its like while driving

ask patman, hes the oil master

I think my '02 kept the oil pressure right around 60 under load, 70 under hard acceleration, and back down to like 45-50 at idle.

Ditto that on the WS6. The Firehawk is slightly higher with its oil pressure, it will reach 80 under hard acceleration.
