Sorry people, don't have the book at home and I forget what the stock oil pressure psi is for the KA24DE at idle. Anyone? ... Thanks.

HAHA!!!!!!!!!! Wow, TOTAL misinformation. At idle you should have around 25PSI, at 3K RPM you should have between 65-75PSI.

5PSI is the level at which the low oil light will turn on. If you haven't spun a bearing or something else oil related by that point, consider yourself lucky.
