RE: lost power?

thats another question.. what kind of oil pressure should i have at idle when its warmed up???
i know its supposed to be low at idle but how low?? my needle is at like the bottom of the "L" on normal.

Hook up a mech. gauge. It should read about 30 PSI, hot, at idle. Also hook up a scanner to see if you have codes.

RE: lost power?

ive noticed it since i put on my new rims and short shifter and k&n. i did them all at the same time. (im not sure when the oil pressure went so low just the power offness)

maybe my oil pressure isnt THAT bad, im down like a liter in oil would that change it?
