Oil Pressure - Autometer Guage

[neuralracing]

What should my oil pressure be? I ask because last week it was between 30-60 and Today it was at about 100 until the car warmed up (I live in the Caribbean so Temps are warm anyway). Once I drove it for a while it went down to about 60.. at times 40... but would shoot up to 100 when I would rev to about 4K.

I am reading it off an Autometer Guage... are these values normal?

What I was told was between 18 and 100 are the safe levels.

Well but my concern is that if its going to be at 100 allot then the Autometer Guage sucks because it only reaches to 100.

Mine only hits a 100 if the car doesn't fully warm up. The Autometer gauge I have goes up to 150. It usually stays around 50-75 when I am accelerating or driving. Does your gauge make a lot of noise? Mine sure does. Especially the copper pipe rubbing against the metal side of the pillar wall, I tried duct tape to quite it, but still noisey.

your shit out of luck on that 1, as long as it doesnt go past the stock gauge readings you should be alright

I mounted mine where the AC constrols used to be and its not noisy at all. Then again my car is fully gutted so there are already a ton of clunking sounds all over

I see around 10-15psi at idle and 75-100psi at WOT. Normal driving I'm around 50-75psi.

Mine flucuates between 50 and 70 on a cold start... then settles to about 45 or so while driving.
