Just making sure my car is running perfect because I just switched out my faulty oil pressure switch that was leaking like a mother****er (pics coming soon of how it busted) ... Anyways, when I first put it in at idle it was up around 60psi! :eek: So I took it out and drove it to get it moving again and after it warmed up pressure dropped back to normal. I figure it was just calibrating or going back to what it should be doing. Anyways, runs fine. BUT I am now getting accurate readings. At idle I'm getting about 25psi, moving about 50psi, and when I get on her at about 5000-5500rpms she's at 60psi. Sound about right to you guys?
This is my 3.4 ;)

grr. Oil pressure is still sitting up high when I first turn the car on. Not until about 180* does it like to drop oil pressure. *grumble* never did that before.

My car was like that too, and actually read a little low, I was a little worried there might be soemthing wrong with my motor, I swapped in a new one, and it read jsut lke yours is reading now, and car ran like a top never had a problem.
I dont know if my oil pressure at normal operating temperature is low or not and its sometimes worries me. I use normal Castrol GTX 10w-30 in my engine and when I start it up cold it reads about 55psi all the time which is good. When it has warmed up and ran a good distance >15 miles it drops all the way down to about 25psi from about 1500 rpm's and up and while idling in gear at about 800 its at about 10-15 psi which is just above the red. Its always done this as far as I know but I was just wondering. The manual says anything thats not in the red is normal so im trusting it for the time being.

Had to be evacuated Monday again after a fire was going on the hill behind us. Only 3-4 hours, they did a good job getting it under control. Especially...
