A real oil pressure gauge and a visual inspection.

Does your car leak oil?

not that i've noticed, i've been looking and haven't seen any yet. im still looking around the block to figure that out. also checking the intercooler piping to see if there is any anti freeze getting into it.

Until you check the oil pressure with a real gauge, you're wasting your time. Find out what the oil pressure really is and go from there. You could just have a bad sending unit for the gauge.

So what is the oil pressure supposed to be besides the 10psi at idle warm... I've heard 10psi per 1000rpm for a minumum, that sound right?

Usually DSMs are a shit ton higher. I usually hit max oil psi by 5k like 80 ish now.
As long as i have my 10psi at idle and not over 100 at redline I don't care, actually its been over 100 before but I haven't gone wot or redline in so long i don't know what it does above 5k rpm
