I have a fitting to where I can run it down by the filter. I might put it down there to see what it's reading then. Even if it's perfectly fine, I don't like seeing it that low.

down at the filter the lowest i read is 16psi at idle but on my gauge its 100% based on RPM, there relative, as RPM's increase so does the pressure, before oil is at operating temp (about 180*) i can get pressure readings well into the 100's, its good for the track though cause if it was to suddenly drop i would immediately notice

My sensor is on the oil filter housing.

Read about 20 psi at idle and a bit over 100 psi at high rpm.

^ You don't need to wait for an oil change.... most of the oil will be in the pan only a very small amount would be at that plug.

There is spring loaded thingy in the head that dumps oil if the pressure is too high. I guess Mitsu doesn't want a lot of oil pressure in the head.
