First off are you using a different oil (conventional to synthetic)? Also is the temperature high than normal? I say this because both have happened to me. When I switched to synthetic oil I could see a difference in pressure in the morning. I also noticed one day when I was running my car hard that the pressure was low but the temperature was about 210. When the car cooled down it was just like it had always been. Not sure if this is what's wrong with your car but thought I would tell you what has happened to me. Hope this helps. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
It might be your oil pump. My pressure was around yours with the exception of the 1200RPM (mine was lower) and when I was going to my buddies house to take the engine out the thing seized up. Now Im getting a new one, it might not be the pump but thats my guess.

nope, i'm still using dino oil just like always with oil changes every 3k. however it may have been the temperature thing you were talking about i'll have to double check. when you say it seized up on you, do you mean the whole engine, or just the oil pump, and if it was just the oil pump, how much was it to get a new one? Thanx.
