Evo IX, reads from 10 psi to 18 psi at 900 rpm, depending on how hot the oil is. My sending unit is in the bung next to the oil filter base. Before I installed the gauge, the idiot light would flicker at idle after a 25 min lapping session, I think that indicates even less than 10 psi. I switched to Redline 10W40 and the flickering went away. I'll see what the gauge reads next time out. btw, there are several threads about this that you can find by using the search function.
