Hey guys,

For those running a aftermarket oil pressure gauge, what do you generally see at idle on a warm engine that's been driven for about an hour?

I'm running a speedhut electric gauge and Amsoil 10w30. Generally, I see 28-30 psi on a warm engine.

Today it's getting humid. First time I've seen it around 20-22 psi at idle. Tap the gas and let rpms go to 2k and it goes to 35-40 psi.

On my brand new built motor, I see 70-80 on a cold start up. After its warm it is down in the high teens to low 20's. Jumps right up to 30-40 with some low RPM as you mentioned.

I am running a Autometer pressure switch with an electrical gauge.
