    Hello Everyone,
    I went to test drive a 360 today and something I noticed was that the oil pressure reading is kind of low at idle (below first mark) is this normal?
    Thanks,
    Francisco

    Yes pressure will rise as you drive and how you drive will determine how much

    Happens when the car is warmed up. As you accelerate, the pressure increases respectively.

    Cheers.

    At idle and at operating temp, the pressure will be around 30 lbs.
