Oil Pressure Value at 800+/-50 RPM idle

[xteekayx]

Guys i've searched and can't find what the oil pressure should be at warm idle on a ca with 6bolt motor. I've searched and got some idiotic arguments of conversion from bar to psi :-\.....

So i just want to ask what is a typical value (in PSI) and what value does the manual say that should be at warm idle at 800+/-50 RPM?... there reason i ask is becasue i have autometer oil pressure gauge and it reads preatty low...

at idle your oil pressure is always gonna look low when the car is warm but once you hit the gas it brings it right up. i believe at operating temperature i believe it should read like 30psi and about 65psi at 3000rpm.

The factory service manual calls for 11.4 psi at a warm idle. It seems low, but as long as it rises to 30+ when your cruising, your good.

Make sure you dont drive the car unless pressure drops to about 60psi

I get 12.5-15 psi after the car is warmed up at ~900 RPM.
