Re: idle oil pressure (Audipwr1)
was your motor just rebuilt? I've seen new motor run about 45-50 psi during break in at an Idle but, 60 should be around cruising rpm. If it was just rebuilt maybe the clearances are really tight. Just a thought

Re: idle oil pressure (Audipwr1)
check your PCV and crancase vent systems, make sure they're not clogged up.
also, rev the motor to 3500 rpm or so while its sitting and see what oil pressure is there.

thanks RJ
I suspect the air in the line and sender skewed it, but once driven, shut down, and driven again the air escaped allowing a more accurate reading

stock warning light is useless..... it might as well be green and shaped like a dollar sign.

Re: idle oil pressure (irev210)
Are you sure it doesn't drop when the motor heats up more? My car on cold start up will read about 60psi, then drop to 30-40 after 5 minutes, then once its completely warm will be between 15-20.
