Hey, I finally installed my oil pressure gauge and just want to know what I should be seeing in regards to psi on the gauge. I think I had 50ish when I started it up post install.

Thanks guys.

oil pressure should be at least 40 psi and around 60 psi at WOT.

Ummm I guess I have an issue then as my car sits around 40psi maybe a little less. When going WOT it doesn't move much.

Well you're still in the range I guess, but it may become an issue if it goes any lower.

If it doesn't move much, you might have a problem. It should move a decent amount when WOT.

I notice that around the end of my oil life, pressure seems to drop some. Anybody else notice this?
