Hey i've just installed a auto meter 0 - 100 psi oil pressure gauge, just wondering what a 97 honda civic 4 door ek1 D16Y4 kind of pressure would it be??? When cold it is around 90 PSI, when idel but warm it sits around 20 PSI. When driving it goes from 20 to 90 psi as it should be but not as high as 90 psi as this can hurt the engine if i'm correct.

Any Help would be great as i'm not to sure if the gauge if reading a incorrect read out or it might be my oil pressure pump or it might be right and then i have nothing to worry about it.

Many Thanks

thats normal theres a bleed valve that bleeds off the pressure at 90psi. dont worry about it. worry when the pressure drops when you rev.
