i have a ???? how much oil press should i have at idle i have like 6 lbs at idle and like 40 lbs when climig a hill is this to littel it is a stock 1600 duel port with remout oil cooler and filter

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.

I am using pensoil 10 w 40 and that is when it is worming up ... changed the filter today and now i am runing about 10 lbs after it is worm was told to run 20w 50 in it with lucas oil aditiv a bout hafe a botel of it ... what do u think

Yeah thats what i would do and use the shortest filter that you can find that will help also .If the oil is getting hot that will make it lose press . 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.
