Uhh my oil pressure is reading at between 0-30 and just got a fresh oil change is anyone else having this problem with their 06......its been like this for the past 3 oil changes...and the dealership is no problem because it is below 14.....
i have the same problem with my 06. but my pressure is only low about 2000 miles after an oil change. its happend after every oil change so far. i talked to a dealer about it and a guy told me its most likely the sending unit. gotta go in and get it fixed sometime
So on idle the psi should be around 50? mine drops close to about 10 or 20 psi??? closer to zero on idle but on the gas it will go to about 60 depending how hard im driving.
The OEM gauge is notoriously inaccurate. I have seen them read zero, and seen them maxed out at 120psi. When we install aftermarket oil pressure gauges, the readings are usually very different from the OEM gauge.
Mine at idle, after driving it for 20 min or so, sets at ~15 psi. When cruising about 3000rpms, it sets at ~65. At WOT its ~75ish. And +1 on what Sharif said
Idle oil psi is always at its worst with fresh oil and filter, before the light fractions burn off.
15 psi [with an accurate gauge] is plenty at extremely hot idle rpm
