Evo's Idling Oil Pressure

Just curious, I would like to know if my Evo 9's idling oil pressure is "alright" or not

My Evo has only changed its intercooler and radiator, everything else is stock
It currently runs on Liquid Moly 5w30, idling oil pressure is 1.3-1.4bar

Is it too low?

Mine has ~20" stainless line running from the oil filter housing up to the top of the passenger fender where the temp and pressure senders are located

I run ~7PSI when warm at idle. 10W-30 amsoil z-rod

It is going to take a while for the temperature to work its way up a 20" line. Not to mention, the unsinsulated line will give off a good amount of temperature before it gets to that point. Have you considered insulating it so that you can at least get accurate steady state temperatures?

Also, my idle oil pressure is 16-20 psi.

temperature isn't even hooked up, just the sender is there. I would only see about ~150* though (and frankly I don't care because the car is daily-driven anyhow) because of the line. so it probably shed ~30* just from that
