Can anyone tell me what normal oil pressure readings should be? My car at idle is a little below 25 then when i start driving or give gas it goes up to 50 and on good acceleration close to 75. Is this range normal or should it always be around 50 even at idle? I would appreciate the info. thanks

 

You have 'normal oil pressure'. When the engine is quite warm, however, the pressure will drop to around 10psi or a bit less at idle, and roughtly 50psi at highway cruise speeds, again, normal.

With the engine cold, pressures about 30-40 at idle and over 70psi near redline are not uncommon.

 

I was wondering this also, thanks for the Q and A.

Phil, good to see you back posting.
