Here is a picture of my oil pressure reading at idle (at normal operating tempature), which is unfortunately on the stock gauge, which I am sure is pretty inacurate:
The oil still looks good (recently changed, ~1000 miles ago) and the level is in between the 2 marks on the dipstick.
The motor has about 92000 miles on it. I am going to go to the auto parts store tomorrow and get some Lucas oil treatment to see if I can thicken up the oil a little bit and raise the pressure.
But does anyone know how much oil pressure that is in the picture on the stock gauge?
What should the oil pressure be at idle? Also, when the car revs to about 2500, or I am driving with moderate boost, the gauge at or right below the half way mark.
Thanks in advance,
Sean
