Re: oil pressure low?

well, it doesnt really sound like you have a problem, but the way you said it made it kinda confusing to me. personaly, when i start my car, when its cold, it will be at about 40-45psi sitting there, and then driving its around 50psi. now when it worms up, sitting there it will be ussualy around 15psi, but on a hot day it is not unusual for it to drop to 10psi. and then when im crusing it will climb to about 40psi. oil pressure is dependednt on.... heat of the oil, the kind of pump you have of cousre, RPM's, and the weight of oil you are running, oh and also weather your low on oil or not. all of those things will cause the oil pressure to change.
