Cold start idle at 1100 rpm shows about 40-50 on oil pressure guage. At 55 mph, guage shows 15-18, and this has me worried. At lights - warm idle - pressure drops to 10 or less. Car is running fine, oil is clear, and filled to just below full mark on the dipstick. Should I be concerned? If so, where should I start looking?
Good morning!
How 'bout an update ... have you tried another (or external) oil gauge yet? Any other diagnostics as suggested?
I'd hate to pull everything apart if the problem was just a bad gauge.
Thanks.
