Hey everybody! Does anyone know what a good reference number is for my oil pressure to be at when the engine is hot and idling? I've noticed that when my engine is hot the oil pressure reads about 20# at idle, but sometimes after I do a wide open throttle run with the engine hot my oil pressure will fluctuate down to as low as about 12#'s. This low of pressure doesn't sound like a good thing to me. Thanks for any feedback.

10-15 after a hot run or on a hot day with the motor hot. I,am talking 180-200 temp.

Thanks for the feedback Frank. The engine temp is about 170-180 so it sounds like all is well!
