Re: what is normal oil pressure for our cars

yeah, on cold warm up my car hits about 100-120
3k rpm i'm at 75-80 depending on how warm the car is
This summer I'd hit a minimum of 6psi at idle, but most of the time more around 13, with the cold its more like 20.

I had some oil psi concerns, and i'm currently running 20w-50. I'll probably change to 15 or 10w-40 for the winter.
