New issue. Had low oil pressure (5 psi or less at idle; with revs up to 20 psi range but faded back to 10 psi or so when cruising). Replaced with new gauge from Willyskaiser and now reads 20 PSI whether I am idling or at road speed. I know 20 PSI is minimum at road speed but 35 PSI is "normal". My wonder now is can I trust it if it is "always" at 20 PSI, idle or driving? Any thoughts?
