What does everyone think about this ?.

This is completely normal for the evo, mine has always been right in that area 7-10psi. It does take about 20 minutes for the oil to get to complete operating temperature, aroud 180-190 on a hot summer day.

When I first read the manual and it said 4.2 psi, I thought it was a little odd..... I was use to my Nissan where the manual says 11psi at idle. But heck, it is spec'd by the mitsu engineers after all. So 8-10psi would be fine.
