I'm new to dsms, and it doesnt help that the stock guages suck, but should I be worried about this? This is warm after driving for about 20 minutes, I'm running 5w30 as the car calls for, its a bone stock 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. I worry because my oil pressure started to drop right after I got home, and I know it warms up and gets thinner, but what does this on the guage actually mean? I know its normal to have about 12 Psi while warm at idle, so

. My dummy gauge is a little higher than yours, and if you slow the video you can see my aftermarket oil pressure gauge reads about 28 psi, I’ve got no balance shafts, yours is probably around 20 or so which i wouldn’t think is too bad assuming you still have balance shafts? I would also check the wire connection at your oil pressure sending unit under the car
