Hmm...Im not 100% sure...6 seems a little low? but then again who says the gauge is totally accurate? Think at a HOT idle, i have maybe 10-15? Really id have to go warm it up and check to be sure though. |

If you got a stock oil cooler and the motor has been hot a few times they have rubber seals that will close up when over heated .Then the oil starts running warmer than it should .Anyway iv been told that ... |

5psi at idle is fine. its not the best but as long as it climbs with the rpms its good. 40psi when climbing is good. |

Rule of thumb is 10PSI for every 1000 RPM. |
