At idle, in gear, the oil pressure should technically be anything above 0 I believe (maybe it is above 1, I forget), but in reality, the norm is between 2 and 3. At speed the oil pressure should peg at 3, and at idle in N the oil pressure should be just below 3. Richard

Above 1 at idle... the moment you blip the throttle, 3... driving 3...
