Whats your oil psi?

[gtoman]

I'm wondering what oil pressure members are seeing on their A20s.
I want to compare mine to the group to see if mine seems healthy.
86 LX-i Hatch 5 speed 201,xxx miles.

Oil pressure: 25psi at idle, 48-50 above 1500 rpm, stays at 52psi from about 2000 rpm to red line.

Whats yours?

Mine usually sits just above 50 psi at highway speed, and around 15 at idle. I think my gauge reads 10 psi low, though. Just for reference, the Honda spec is 14 psi minimum at idle and 54-65 psi at 3k rpm.

Yea i was gonna say i thought it was to be at 60 +/- 4psi after 3k & higher.

But idk the oil pressure of current motor.

Once the car is up to full operating temp the pressure can go as low as about 20psi at idle and at 70mph in 5th it sits right at 52-54. My gauge is pretty cheap so it could be off by a bit. On my way home today I put the clutch in to come to a stop and the gauge got stuck at 40psi. I gave it a light tap and it was fine after that..funny little gauge. I think this is pretty healthy for a 25 year old 200k motor.

Thanks for the input guys,
