Ok, I installed a supercheap mechanical oil pressure guage a little while ago and the pressures that my gem is running at seem a little bit off to me so I was just wondering if anyone else's gem runs at similar pressures.
When I first start it up in the morning the oil pressure at about 1000rpm is 80psi. Once its up to running temp, at idle the pressure is about 20psi and its about 60psi at 2500rpm, so driving its usually between 60~70psi.

as your motor warms up the oil gets thinner,thats why your pressure does not seem as good when it cold.
