What does your oil pressure gauge read on idle?!

[cfoster]

As above what does your car's oil pressure gauge read on idle once its fully warmed up / run for a fair while in normal day to day traffic? Not sure what the norm should be as i noticed when mine was idling it was reading below 1/4 on the gauge?

Mine does too, if 1/4 is 15, then mine can sit as low as 10-12 on idle.

Mine also, the book tells you that the gauge is not 100% accurate. Check your oil very week & change your oil to Lucas high performance 10w40 as the oil Nissan use is crap

I hadn't noticed your new sig

Wifey's usually reads 15 when very hot idling, once the revs up then just below 60 psi. I was worried about this to begin with but shared data cures curiosity

Completly off topic, but MAYHEW820 you have an excellent taste in avatars

Mine reads above 120 but my guage has gone round the bend

But having cooled down, normal reading is around 15 at idle and 60 at 70mph (296bhp engine)
