Its hard to compare the SSEi and SE'* etc..but I was flammed obscenely for having oil pressure almost that low in a car I was looking at buying.

The LED in the dash does not come on until its in the red.


As mentioned, this oil pressure gauges seem sketchy half the time, you can have it checked with a mechanical gauge at a shop for around $20 - $40 I've found out. Mine shows "30" or whatever that big 1/4 tank line is at idel, however I had it tested with a mechanical gauge and it was actually at 43.
