Oil Pressure
What's everyones oil pressure look like at idle. I've got an L98 and mine is only around 20psi and seems kind of low. It goes up on acceleration but I thought I'd ask.

My factory digital gauge reads in the 50's at idle. The Autometer mechanical gauge I have reads 12 at Idle. The mechanical gauge is correct! You are fine at 20 PSI A good rule of thumb is 10 PSI for every 1000 RPM.
