It needs to be above 11PSI at idle, and 51-65psi at 3000 RPM.

If your oil gauge works like everyone elses, it'll move around alot. Sometimes it may register 0 psi and sometimes it'll register around 10 psi when at idle. In the morning when you start the vehicle, it should register around 60 psi and as the engine warms, it drops. The oil sending unit in the Z32 leaves a lot to be desired and causes a lot of worry.
