What is your oil pressure at idle?
 

What is your oil pressure at idle when your engine is warmed up? Mine is a little under 20 psi. Is this too low? I have a 95 Z with 5w-30 Moblie 1 synthetic. Thanks for any help.

same car, same oil, same pressure here... think your good :)

same oil and Pressure here too:D

The 94 is alittle over 20 PSI but the 96 is between 30 and 40 at idle.

With the oil fully warmed up and the transmission in drive, I see about 18psi on the gauge.

M6 cars should see a higher idle oil pressure since their idle speed is higher (800rpm vs 550 for the A4) Their oil pressure at idle should be closer to 30psi.

have a 97 lt1 and im runnin' royal purple with ~25 psi. well over 50 when at 4k rpm. i dont push her over 4k that often.

My M6 95 Z fully warmed up runs a little under 20 psi also. I think we are good.

96 LT1 M6 - 5w30 and when warmed up or hot, my pressure reads a little below 20.


20w50 for roadracing oil press reads a little above 20 at idle when warm/hot.

My M6, when it's all heated up, is about 35 or 38PSI @ idle.

I've got 20psi also. Your fine.

That poor car, it doesent get to have any fun!

only when some riced out vw or honda pulls up next to me, but i live in nj. everyone i see has a sweet ride like a lexus or a beater car with the exceptional few.

The average idle PSI is 22 for most Lt1 F-bodys... 20 PSI is fine.

What weight of oil do you run?

same goes here...
