Hey Boys,

Just have a quick question about my new car, didn't want to make another thread on same topic so I'll hijack this one :)

I've been monitoring my oil pressure guage the last couple of runs, cold start its sits around 55-60, then as I'm driving for a while it sails down to about 40-45 once fully warmed up. Is this a good reading? Sorry I'm just paranoid about everything to do with my car's health :P

what is it at wot when hot ?

Didn't really give it a foot full, from memory it doesn't spike too much though. I'll check next time.

Do the idle and cruising psi look good?

2010 FG Sedan btw.
