Noticed that my idle (700-800 RPM) oil pressure has dropped to 15 psi from
its normal 20 psi after running and hot. It still is a steady 50-52 psi when
cruising in OD. Does this rather sudden ( just noticed it today ) 5 psi
drop during idle indicate something that needs looking at ? I thought I read
on this list that oil pressure at idle needs to be a minmum of 20 psi. The
car still seems to run great and I lose / leak maybe a quart per 750-1000
miles. I run Ursa 15W-40W oil.
Comments or advice, please?
