Oil Pressure

Hey guys does dipricol make an oil pressure gauge? I am getting ready for a few minor changes. For those who are running them what kind of numbers do you see? Jay

DOn't know anything about dipricol.

My oil pressure runs at the following pressures:
Idle, HOT day, 200-210F Engine: 6-8psi
2500rpm, 200-210F Engine: 40-50psi
Cold start, hot day/cold day: >60psi
Winter Idle, hot engine: 10-12psi

I used a 0 - 100 psi fuel pressure gauge from DiPricol, and it's been working great for 25k miles.

If you are looking for a pressure range. I would recommend a 0-100 PSI gauge. I know on a cold start mine can pretty much peg that when the oil is thick. Once warmed up I run around 65 psi cruising on the interstate
