Just woundering what peoples oil pressure is during idle? Mine when the car starts up goes to about 60 then goes down once it had warmed up to about 12 to 20.
Whats yours like?

yeah mine was at about 10-12 at idle hot. Cold it was 65ish. general rule is 8-10 psi for every 1K RPMs are safe. I guess after about 75lbs or so you max out the pump. Dont freak out hehe your fine.
