mine sits at between 10 and 20 psi at idle, and as soon as throttle gets touched it goes to about 35-50psi i think. ill double check when i get home.

I get between 15-20psi at idle fully warmed up, around 50-60 just cruising and if I rip on it, it goes up to about 80ish I think I can't remember exactly. Thats with 5w50 weight oil.

It varies depending on what weight I use.

5W I get about 11~12 psi during fully warmed up idle.

10W I get about 12~15 psi during fully warmed up idle.
