Hey all I just changed my oil a couple of weeks ago and I am now getting around 45psi of oil pressure at roughly 2800 rpms in 5th under light throttle(cruising). And at idle I am getting oil pressure that dips below 30PSI which is worrying me a lot. I haven't checked my oil level yet but I don't beleve to have any leaks. I have a good condition oil cooler and mazdatrix's SS oil cooler lines. All the rest is original equipment to my knowledge(OPR, thermal pellett, etc) What should I look for?

Front cover oil o-ring. The most common cause of low oil pressure that starts all at once.

Any way to confirm this is the part at fault?

Not that I'm aware of, but that or the e-shaft pellet are the only real points of failure that happen all at once.

Ok I'll see what the hell I can do this weekend.

One wierd thing to note is that I CAN get over 60PSI of oil pressure in the fist four gears upto and above the range where the 5th gear starts to dip. I guess i'll start looking for a place to buy the pellet and gasket.
