20psi when warmed up and idling? sounds good to me mate. whats the highest it reads when accelerating?

um not sure coz the car just sites in the back yard

my old ecotec ran at 60psi idle until it started losing pressure. the reco one i just dropped in sits at 60psi idle now too. both readings taken hot and with new enough oil.

it does state what pressure it should be in a gregories manual, i cant remember offhand but the measurement should be taken at 1900rpm and be xxx kpa. just need to convert the book kpa to psi and theres your figure.

gregories manual states it should be between 375 - 414kpa (54 - 60psi) at 1850rpm

Just remember that oil would change the pressure to

mine sits between 50 and 60 psi

it's a bit low, what oil are you using? Last changed oil and filter?

[Brett_jjj]

The V6 engine needs 20w 50 or greater oil .I use Penrite semi-synthetic 20w 60,Which will stay a bit thicker at high temperatures.I always change my oil and filter every 5000k's.
