Idle Oil Pressure
Ok sorry if this has been asked alot.. I have an 06 IX MR.. Works 340 kit. So Cams down pipe, Tune, exhaust. Light mods. I just installed my oil pressure gauge. I tapped into on of the holes by the oil filter. I have a prosport electronic gauge. I notice when the car gets warm my idle oil pressure is about 10-12. Is that just cause the oil is warm. so the pressure drops a little? At WOT I am about 1150 -120 so that seems right and no drop. Just wasn't sure if at idle it should be that low.
Mine at operating temp drops down to almost 15 psi and while driving it goes up to almost 90 psi. So I have been operating like that for 45K miles without oiling issues at all or any issues on the car period. So it sounds ok from my stand point.
