This is a warning for someone buying a new gauge. Your gauge goes to 140. I bought a 100 and went uh-oh. I need more.

How has your oil pressure been? At different rpm's?

Hey thanks for checking in...

Yeah cold engine routinely gets over 100psi oil pressure.
It is my rule-of-thumb to never go over 3000rpm on a cold motor.

Once warmed up, the car idles at 40psi.
Full throttle: 90 psi warm

Don't feel bad Rusty, I did the same thing My bypass opens at about 115. I want to say after warm up it hovers around 80-90 driving & about 30 at idle.
