Oil Pressure readings 20w/50?
82 rx7 with 79 motor. Oil cooler was a leaking POS. We replaced it with an after market oil cooler and -10 braided lines. We get 20 ish psi at 800 rpm according to the factory guage never goes over 70 or so. That sound ok?

My REW block goes up to 130 or so. Hard to tell exactly since it's only a 100 PSI gauge. Wraps it around and pegs it at zero when it's cold. Guess I need a new gauge with a higher pressure range.
This is with 5W-30, by the way.

Ok so it's probably ok. I guess as long as the bypass works in the front cover it'll control the pressure from getting too high. I think 20 ish is probably better for the engine at idle than the barely 10 stock does.
I checked the 83 gsl with 40k miles and the oil pressure is really low at idle. And quickly builds on a quick rev. But never goes over 70 according to the stock guage. But it's only got 10w/40 in it.
