Yo! Folks a good engine produces good oil pressure. I run 22-27 at 800/900 idle at full engine temps of 220 (f), 2500 Rpms 45+, 3300 Rpms 50/60 that is with 20/50 engine oil and outside temps of 85+ (f). It pegs the gauge at the 80 psi mark for the first twenty minutes of opperation on first morning startups.
