What is your oil pressure at idle?

[timmydatool]

Hi, I have a 22 rebel with a 5.7 etorque, got about 50,000 miles on it. Last week I decided to try something different and I went to take five oil change and today I noticed at idle I saw oil pressure as low as 26 psi I guess I’ve never paid attention before idol and I’m a little nervous about switching oil shops, anybody else know what they see for oil pressure idling at about 500 rpm. Thanks

About 32 to 35 psi IIRC. Pennzoil 5W20 full synthetic. FRAM XG10060 filter.

Wellz your first mistake was going to a cheap *** oil change place that only cares about using the cheapest oils and filters, and getting as many cars through the doors as possible.

I'd be willing to bet if you changed your oil filter to a Mopar filter your pressure would be higher
