oil pressure readings

[PT GT]

Hello All, for those wil oil pressure gauges, what are you reading at idle (warm) and at 3000 rpms? thanks

[flashbk2]

At idle warmed up 15 going down the road (3,000 rpm ) warmed up 25-30. Cold.. idling or going down the road can be as high as 70 so be careful ! I'm running Mobil 1 5w-30 and a k&n oil filter .

My readings are the same as flashback2's. Cold between 60-70 (until warm) warm at idle 15psi in - 4th gear (autostick) down the road @ 3000 RPM about 25-30Psi. I am also running 5W-30 Mobil-1. (not a K &N filter though)

Where did you plumb your oilpressure sensor up to?? I was stumped.

Here's a pic...kinda of surprised with your connections that you don't know !

Thanks everyone. Sound about the same for me. Just a little worried when I saw 75psi at startup.

I took my connection from the same place as flashback2 did. I used the pic in this thread as a model. The 45 degree elbow was important in that it relieves any strain on the nylon tube in the compression fitting. The nylon tube gets hot and will weep (at the compression fitting) if there is any exces strain on the connection. After installing the 45 dg elbow no problems with any weeping or leaking. BTW I used a grinder on a 1/4 inch socket extention and made a plug removal tool for the original passage plug fitting. I don't know what size it is but whatever it was, I didn't have it so I improvised, anyone needs to borrow it I will gladly lend it out.
