12 psi oil pressure at idle normal?
Just installed a Cyberdyne oil pressure gage in my 07 GT. Connected it to a brass fitting in the same location as the stock sender unit. Anyone know if 11 PSI is normal at idle? Runs 62PSI at normal cruising RPM. 11 PSI sounds a bit low, but the stock sensor doesn't indicate a fault. I'm using the recommended 5W20
Thx

Yup, that's normal. Rule of thumb I've always heard is 10 pounds of pressure for every 1000 RPM. As long as you're at or exceeding that number you've got sufficient oil pressure.
