that's like 18 psi, which i would think would be low. i thought it should be closer to 45.

My car runs like this:

at start 6-7bar
as it warms up it drops, hot is about 1.25 to 1.5 bar at idle, this is NOT below Mitsu min spec

running hot is anywhere from 6 to 7 bar at higher rpm/loads

HTH

Mine is like 70PSI at idle at cold startup and if I drive it goes over 100psi. After the oil is 200 degrees, it is about 12-15 at idle and 55-60 at 75mph.
