Good Pressure

I was concerned the other day that I should have been seeing higher oil pressure on the engine panel gauge, especially when I ran the engine up to RPM, so I bought a mechanical gauge with more precise increments and installed it this morning.  Turns out I've got good oil pressure.

I saw 40 psi at startup, and 46 psi at RPM.  The pressure dropped to 36 at idle after the engine warmed up a bit.  The manual indicates that oil pressure will range between 30 and 55 psi during normal operation.  At idle, oil pressure will range between 15 and 30 psi, so I think I'm in good shape.
