First, welcome to the CAC!

The pressure will fluctuate some, depending on engine speed. What does the pressure guage do, exactly?

[samai]

thank you. the fluctuation seems to appear with the speed i'm driving at, low speed low pressure high speed high pressure, pretty simple pattern.

I am sure that someone who knows more than I do about this will post, too. But I think that is normal.

thanks for the info.

My oil pressure will vary from the low 30's when idling or at low rpm's, to 50's under a moderate load (say 4000 rpms).

Is this similar what you're seeing?

this is the same reading i am getting so I guess it's right, thanks for the tip.
