Message	Something I have not thought about much, but what should my oil pressure be showing me? When I am at idle sometimes the needle is almost pointing at 0. But as soon as I give it a little gas it pops back up, cruising around town is normally about 20-30 psi. Idle looks like it is usually around 10-15 psi. Giving it some good throttle for highway overtaking looks like it is around 50-60 psi, I don't think I have ever seen it at the 90 psi mark, maybe on a cold startup. I see people saying that it should be idling around 30 psi, but service manual says 11 psi idle, 51-65 psi at 3,000 rpm (page LC-11). I think my oil pressures look perfect (if the dash gauge is anywhere close to accurate). What say you all?
