I'm sorry, im a newb =(



But, Whats the normal oil psi at idle?

Mine's around 15-20 PSI, sounds really low to me =(



Like i said, it just sounds really low to me. I know its supposed to be between 43 and 86 psi at 3k Rpm, but what about idle? Is 15-20psi at idle low?



If im just stupid and its normal im sorry lol

what does it mean when your oil pressure is lower than this at idle, but normal otherwise?
