I just picked up a brand new 2024 ram 1500 Laramie with 5.7etorque my oil pressure after fully warming I’m seeing 22psi at idle, is this normal? Seems kind of low to me, would like to know what kind of idle oil pressure newer truckers are getting at idle.

That seems low. At least historically, we are seeing 28-31 at hot idle. 49-50 at moderate constant speed when up to oil temp at around 200F or higher.

I looked at other posts there are few people that are hovering around 22psi at idle, but apparently these trucks don’t have real oil pressure sensor.

For the 5.7L Hemi or the Hurricane? I think the only time I saw a 22psi posting was on the Hurricanes, I've never seen a Hemi with that low an oil pressure.

Not sure about how it's determined with the system, hopefully whatever sending unit you have is simply off instead of being actually low.
