What is the average oil pressure reading at idle in neutral?
How about idle @ Drive?
And then about 5200 rpm ?

Thanks, just running some tests.

37 psi at 2400 rpms using 10W-30 oil is normal per BMD. Different oil will give different readings. I have found 10 psi or better at idle is common. The only way to be accurate is to hook up a mechanical testing gage directly to the engine. Snap-On transmission pressure gauges work good here. Electric oil pressure gauges lie.
