And it all depends on the temp and the thickness of the oil, since if you run thicker oil for hotter temps, the pump can pressurize is better than thinner oils for lower temps in hot temp conditions, and will have higher oil pressures across the board.

All,
I'm searching tonight low oil pressure threads and came across this one.
My oil pressure usually runs around 39-42. Today, my DIC pinged on (I had the DIC off earlier.) and started showing my oil pressure. Not sure I actually heard the ping, so I kept an eye on it. After a few miles I stopped at a light and the pressure went down to a low 21 psi. At each subsequent stop, around 22-24 psi range. In the past, I never saw it below 38-39. This all happened shortly after I jump on it a little.
A6, no dry-sump, 2011 GS, 20,700 miles, 29% oil life. Eng/Trans still under warranty. I checked, oil level fine, but some obvious vapor coming up thru the dip stick pipe.
Any ideas what going on?
