Default oil pressure.....whats normal?

My Z now has 200 miles on it and I has wondering what you guys are reading in the way of oil pressue. At idle when hot my car reads just below the second line (25 or so ?). At WOT I get above 60 psi. Does this sound about right?


Thanks, CS track

Mine seems to be a bit lower when idle.

The gauge shows half way between the "30 psi" and Zero. I have to assume this is 15psi when the engine is fully warmed up and idling at 750rpm.

All of your oil pressures sound normal. The pressure can vary depending on outside temperature and oil temperature. On really hot summer days in my Z32 I'll have a oil pressure reading of about 20-25ish and cold day it will idle about 30-35 ish. The pressure should go up during WOT and with increasing engine speed, but shouldn't go above 90 psi (mark above 60).
