Default What is the normal oil pressure?....
Mine runs about 50 under normal acceleration and sometimes gets to 55. Is this normal when shifting at 3000-3500 rpm's? When idle it runs around 40. Thanks in advance.

Mine runs 40+ at start up, around 30 hot at idle, up to 55-60 on hard acceleration, at redline, never checked- to busy watching all the traffic get lost behind me!

Hope it helps!

those are normal...
They will change based on cold versus hot oil, the brand of filter you use and the viscosity of oil you use.
