[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8754415, member: 587645"] Not quite how that works man. Oil has a viscosity rating. That rating is for a certain range of Temps. I'm in central Florida, so it's not as extreme, but my oil pressure at idle "cold" is 55-60 psi. Up to temp my idle oil pressure is 15-20 psi. I have a 4cyl turbo, so I stay out of the throttle as much as possible until I see my idle oil pressure down to at least 25psi, or at a 50mph cruise oil pressure at about 55psi. Oil pressure doesn't equal oil flow. Oil pressure is actually the resistance of the oil flowing. Matt [/QUOTE]
