Oil Pressure question
Can anyone tell me what the "normal" oil pressure is on a '94 se?
My guage is marked in KPa and I thought that 275 was a good number until I did the math and converted it to PSI.
My oil pressure ranges from 300 when idling cold, to about 150 idling hot. Always about the 275 mark when driving.
150 KPa = aprox 22 psi
200 = 29
275 = 39
300 = 43
Thanks,
John

A good amount of Bonnies iv been in and I have all drop like 5-10 point or so when the Motor is Hot and at idle in Drive at a light or something.
But it should jump right back up once it hits like 1,100 RPM or 1000 RPM or so.

Is it "normal" for it to drop to half that when idling with the motor at operating temps?
