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.
