Oil Pressure?

Good morning all, I have a 01 2500. Does anyone know what the ideal oil pressure should be once the oil is good and hot, should it drop 20 psi between cold oil and hot oil?

Yes I think so, mine will go up to 60 when cold and by the time its warmed it reads around 40 at idle.

Yep, same here. <br><br>It's consistently a bit higher with the Fleetguard oil filter than it was with whatever Mopar filter came on it from the factory.
