What is normal oil pressure levels? Im getting about 20psi at ideal and its jumping to about 60-65psi while driving. My car, about two years ago never went below the 30psi even at idle. Is this about normal? If not, how do I correct it?

That sounds fine.



Don't forget the stock FC gauge isn't exactly known for it's accuracy after all those years..

gauges have nothing to do with it, pressure is lower at idle

then increases with engine RPM, but it also lowers a bit when

the car gets hot. You would get the same readings with a aftermarket

gauge

I mean compensate a few lbs of pressure on the gauge for it loosing it's accuracy, or the sender being original or something.
