I've had an oil psi gauge in the car for the past week or 2 and I have a good idea of where it sits. Normally it idles at around 11-13, at 3k RPM under load its about 70-75. However when it gets really hot or the car has been running for a while, idle has gone as low as 6... a bit scary. And 3k rpm will drop to 60 or so. Should I be worried?
