anyone have any oil psi numbers like when its warm at idle, driving at highway speeds i just want to compare?

warm/idle: 40-50 PSI
highway speeds: 75-80 PSI

Those numbers are right where my engine builder/tuner and I want them. However, my engine (EJ257 Hybrid) is far from stock so your ideal numbers maybe a little different.

If you want more numbers or more exact ones, I can do a more thorough check when I go out tomorrow.

the rule of thumb with oil pressure is 10psi for every 1,000 RPM's, remember that to much oil pressure is a bad thing as well. When you see after market oil pumps you are looking for high volume since a pump doesnt make pressure it makes volume.
