What are you guys seeing for oil pressure at idle hot? Mine fluctuates between 19-20PSI, I've seen as high as 59 PSI when under load but just thought the idle oil pressure might be a bit low, although this is my first diesel so I don't really know what to expect.

If I'm not mistaken mine runs about 20 psi to at idle which I thought was low compared to what I'm used to seeing on a gas motor, this also is my first diesel.

Mine averages 20psi at idle, I’ve seen it as high as 90psi when cold under acceleration which coming from a gasser seems very high but the gauge barely moves past half.
