With my gauge I see as high as ~75 psi at idle when cold and as low as 20 psi when warm, at WOT I see approx 65-70 psi depending on how warm the engine oil temperature is.

Cold oil at idle is ~70-75, will go past 80 if I am driving..

Normal cruise is 60ish...

WOT doesn't effect oil psi, just rpms but the most I see at the upper rpms is 65ish.

Idle is 18-24 depending on temp.
