This question was asked quite often at the Direct Connection Clinics I use to attend at GSD in Chicago, IL. The answer was 1psi is all you NEED for every 1000rpm. They went on to say, 5 to 10 is better but not necessary, and they also pointed out, high psi was far worse on a engine than low psi, because oil can and will, get under the bearings as well as on top and create a strong probability of spinning them. Also it takes horse power to pump oil, high oil pressure loss of HP.

All you need is 1psi for every 1000rpm.

Subject: Oil pressure

So after getting my motor good and hot, after driving, at idle my oil pressure gauge shows at the second line from left. I'm including a pic...let me know if it's too small ima make it small for people without cable. I just wanna know if that's not good. It comes up a Bit while driving or giving gas. It doesn't have pressures on it so idk what pressure that line is. I figured someone would know what that is...and if that's good or not. Thanks in advance!
