My idle oil pressure when warm sits around 35-37psi. After a hard run idle pressure drops to 30-32psi then slowly creeps back up under normal driving conditions.

Under load/high rpms it stays high like 80+.

The weird thing is the oil temp will remain the same but the pressure drops after a run. I'm running Mobil 1 euro blend. Your thoughts?

Id like to hear from the road course guys too since the car is ran hard for longer period of time.

Sounds normal, those numbers look right. On a hot day after car warmed up, I see as low as 28 at idle (sitting at traffic light). Others here have reported similar.

On a hot day I never go under 35psi....unless I run it hard

Huh, mine is just slightly under 1/2 way up the gauge at idle...I think it's because of all the sand I have in the engine.
