what should oil pressure guage read

[damnthecops]

i was just curious at about where the needle should be on my oil pres gauge on a 90 talon when at idle, when cruising, and when at wot
when i am at wot it is right at the line before the h and when i am crusing it is at the droplet at the tip of the picture of the oil can

At idle I read at about 1/4 of the gauge and at WOT I get about 3/4 of the gauge

It'll be variable between cars. My 95 drops to nothing at idle and is just above half while running. The 93 is about ¼ at idle, and over half when running. Now you know why the new cars with "oil pressure gauges" are made to run at half or three-quarters gauge all the time. It keeps people from bugging the service manager.
