Kevin, Last June I installed put in a dual VDO oil pressure gauge and I love the piece of mind it provides especially when you are far from home. Here are my pressure numbers on a 1990 Westy 2.1L with 145,000 miles running 20W50 regular oil. At startup: 60 psi After fully hot: 900 rpm = 12 psi 3000 rpm = 35 psi
