Re: low oil pressure need some advice

I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but around here it's warmed up quite a bit in the last week, and my oil pressure always drops a little in warm weather compared to cold weather, as the coolant gets a little hotter. Maybe ~5 pounds difference. Those pressures you have now don't sound bad at all though.
