I'm sure the heat outside has a big problem with it, I am just paranoid whenever I see the warning lights at idle. When I blip the throttle in neutral both go away and act normal, so it's strictly a stand still at idle problem.

I don't like that one bit... Mine is around 15-20 at idle and drops a bit if I drop the RPM letting the clutch out. Running 5-30 Mobile FS.

I would look hard at that, having that low of pressure, even at idle, is not good... perhaps as jwick says it's the gauge. If the pressure was really that low, you would be able to hear her knocking.

It sounds completely normal though, that's the thing that is giving me some hope. Once the stuff I ordered comes in, I'll rip it all apart and check it out, run a mechanical gauge and see if my electronic one is at fault.
