I just got my car running and I have a question about my cars oil pressure. The car is a turbo LS/VTEC with a Type R oil pump and standard Moroso pan. I'm also running Mobil1 10w30 oil and the level is correct.
Ok, when I first start the car my gauge reads 75psi at idle and once it's fully warm it drops to around 15psi. I'm concerned about the pressure after it's warm. While cruising it's around 50psi. Is15 too low for idle? My pump seems to be working fine since the psi goes up to normal while driving. Let me know what you guys think.

 

its fine. my LS/v turbo sits around there after warmed up also

 

Cool!

 

That's normal....happens when the oil warms up. Also, the same reason you dont rev your car past 4-5k before it's warmed up either (thick oil does not lubricate well and you spin bearings). BMWs even have their fancy rev limiter that moves up as the oil temp increases that prevents you from revving your $70k M3 past where they deem "safe" given the oil temp.
