50 degree ABA I4 layout like yours. VDO gauges in the A pillar. MobIl 1 15W50. Syncro with lots of fiddlly bits. Cold start up presides of ~75 psi. Warm idle of ~15-20 psi. Intown high temps of 220-225F. Haven't seen a pressure lower than 30 off idle. Sustained highway driving at 75mph I've touched 240F with no drops in pressure ~65psi. A touch hot me thinks. Thinking about a larger oil/waterheat exchanger or a separate D pillar oil cooler.
