There is a long thread dedicated to your question.

35-38

They are right....lots past posts about what is a good range.

I drive with my oil pressure always displayed.

All Hail GOOGLE!!!

P.S. Mine is 32-34ish at idle and 44-46ish at highway speeds. 50+ at WOT.

All stock- internals, heads and oil pump.

I forget what my numbers were, it's been so long since it has been on the road.

I don't like to see less then 30 at hot idle.

Shit.

Is that "Shit" like you're below?

I’ve seen 26 on a hot summer day.

Perhaps change your oil viscosity

I just switched over yo amsoil luckily I was on my first oil change since my build . I noticed a 20 psi difference on cold start up on amsoil vs móbil 1 full synthetic. I read that amsoil claim a 1 year service interval which I don’t trust for a boosted car . How often are you guys servicing with amsoil full synthetic.

i change mine once a year, last year I put 500 miles on the car

At 500 miles makes sense , Im wondering mileage wise for a roughly 750 hp car . Obviously will depend on driving style but I’d say driven like it’s intended too .

The engine oil life monitor seems pretty good. Meaning it runs itself down fast in these cars with stop and go or spirited driving
i would say change it before and maybe even after an event

Before my teardown/mods, oil pressure was around 20-25psi hot idle.

After mods with a brand new untouched OEM pump, hot idle is about 28-30ish psi. Idle at 700-750rpm with Mobil 1 0W-40.

32 to 35 hot idle on Redline 10W40. I change the oil when the DIC reads ~50%.

Mine is 37-39 psi hot idle. 5W-40 Rotella T6, which is super hard to find right now

I went into Walmart yesterday looking for rótella t6 with no luck . Seemed to me like they always carried it , makes sense now that you mention it .
