I have auxilliary oil pressure gauge (autometer cobalt, use to have OEM saab until some jerk broke into my car!).
-58-60psi cold (as in cold oil after startup depending on oil) @2500RPM
-50psi cold idle (after sitting overnight)
-52psi oil pressure @190-210F oil temp @2500+ RPM
-~17-18psi hot idle, never below 15psi hot idle (for example @35-40C ambient temp with 5W40synthetic oil)
-oil pressure light has never gone on, nore has it ever delayed on start up.
that being said, I have a little leak around the tensioner.
How exactly does oil pressure feed into tensioner? I have my money on 15 years causing some amount on varnish/sludge binding somthing in there, synthetic oil or not. After all my 'idiot' brother put additives at one time in the oil, not sure what kind, however. Mind you I saw a can of Restorer at his place once, I believe that stuff has solid particles!!???. My poor car;-)
