Oil Pressure Gage
94 Bonneville SE
My Gage stays a little below the 40 mark all the time, and sometimes goes a little farther.
But it never gets to the red mark
What is the normal place for the Gage to be on my car, I really hope I don’t have an oil pressure problem, but if so, any ideas?

20lbs is about average for idle when warmed up
40lbs is about average for 1,500-2,000 rpms.
If the oil was changed recently you might see slightly higher readings and if you are due for a change it might be slightly lower.

Bandit, please put your year and trim level in your signature.
