oil pressure at idle running very low why???

[GstRacer]

oil pressure is like about 7psi and flutuates almost to no pressure at idle why is that and what can be done and i dont think that it is good i though we should run like 20 or 15 at idle

What guage are you using? What car/motor? New oil pump? Miles?

Jesus Christ throw me a bone please.

well i'm using a greddy 60mm warning and paek gauge, & bolt 2g eclipse oil pump and motor less then 30,000 on it i could take a vid of the gauge and show you what it reads at idle

is the low oil pressure idiot light coming on? it might just be a tired sender (or senders)

where is it tapped in at? Pressure at the head can read as low as 7psi, but down at the filter housing should be more.

Jesus gave you mor than a bone, He gave YOU His life. Oil pressure at idle only needs to be 11PSI. Put a gauge on the sending unit port and you will see the pressure rise about 10PSI/1000RPM. Mark

well no idiot light yet and it's taped in at the oil filter housing and i usewd a fitting so that the stock gaue would still work and the greddy gauge is brand new it's not a tired sending unit at least i hope not. thanks again

Routine. Ignore it.
