Oil pressure gauge

[UpsideDownIn]

Just curious where the oil pressure gauge level should be when in idle and normal operating temperatures. My 2020 Expy always show it half-way while the Tremor it is a quarter. On startup, the pressure is high naturally and the gauge reflects that perfectly, but it settles to a quarter right after. If I accelerate, the pressure does move near the halfway mark but drops back down to a quarter at cruising speed.

I checked the oil and it's at the right level, but just thought it was peculiar to see.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it — change your oil as recommended and check it from time to time. If you get a warning light, take it in:

Nah, not worried since the oil dipstick is at the correct level. Just use to seeing the oil pressure gauge at the halfway mark for all my other cars. Curious, does yours show at the halfway mark? It may just be the design our gauge cluster.

Mine does the same. Think they all sit around this level

I figured so, just wanted to make sure from others. Many thanks!

Maybe it's a turbo thing with that engine?

I’ve noticed if you watch it for awhile it will jump up to about half way then drop back down after a period of time, then jump again. There is a valve or something that is bypassing or diverting oil for something. I agree with the earlier comment though, no idiot light / warning, no problem.

With Forscan you can show the actual temps below the gauges — for a bit more granularity. Oil pressure — you're stuck with what you have… Here’s mine with the temps:
