Yo! Folks a good engine produces good oil pressure.
I run 22-27 at 800/900 idle at full engine temps of 220 (f), 2500 Rpms
45+, 3300 Rpms 50/60 that is with 20/50 engine oil and outside temps of
85+ (f).
It pegs the gauge at the 80 psi mark for the first twenty minutes of
opperation on first morning startups.
