Oil pressure at idle??

Post by Rob_B »

hello all, just wondering if someone could confirm this for me, what should an nissan 200sx s14a's oil pressure be at idle?

I hear it should be 25psi? is that true?

I'm rather concerned, mine is going as low as about 15psi?

have i got an issue?


regards
rob
