    Re: Oil Pressure Help

    Your oil pressure will drop after you've driven it for 5 minutes or so. And that's ok for the most part. As long as you're idling at ~30psi or higher you're fine. If it makes you feel any better, your engine has an automatic safety shut off wen the oil psi dips below 12.

        Yup, that's fine. Mine stays at 30 when stopped at a light. While driving it's 50-62 psi.
