Low oil pressure?

Interesting. Today I watched TFL do a low speed hot steep test “the toaster” on the new ram 3.0 SO. Oil temp was like 235 (pretty normal for my hemi to see that towing in the mountains or hard acceleration towing).

When they stopped after the pull it had 20 psi oil pressure and triggered a low oil pressure warning. Seemed a little sensitive.

What did they find out? Cracked pickup tube? Seal on pickup tube?
engineering got them to do mechanical gauge test, my gauge inside was off by 3 psi, truck actually idles at 25psi, plus fca told them these new truck are more efficient, they do have low idle pressure compared to old. Not sure if I believe that lol. But they also compared my truck to two other brand new 24s on lot , both measured about the same in fact one was idling at 20psi. Not too worried since everything is documented.
