Start up im around 80-90psi. After warm up at idle its right around 20psi. Cruising the freeway at about 70mph its around 60psihave an 04btw.
Looks like its fine.
I have an '03 and mine is about the same during idle, and that is when the motor is fully warmed up as well. Initial cold start up it'll be about 80 psi give or take, and then during warm temps when the motor is all good and warmed my oil pressure sits about the same as yours. Im using Pennziol Platinum 5w-30, but im switching to castrol full synthetic
well all in all I say that yours is in normal condition.
Im having the same issue here. I just replaced my oil pressure sending unit also.
I did an ECU reset yesterday and it seems like idles low and the PSI is very close to 0.
I checked the oil level and its fine. I did oil change replaced my oil pressure sending unit at the same time about 400 miles ago. I did search and found nothing.
I agree with redline06, for some reason I find yours to be too high as well. i think 120 psi on cold start is not common at all. My cold start is at around 70-90 psi and my normal temp idle is about the same as op's oil pressure.
