I put a set of Sun 1.5" gauges in a little panel under the left side of
the dash. Water temp, Oil press, and Ammeter (not hooked up, but it was
in the box). Last week changed the oil and put in Mobil 1 15/50. Now at
cold startup I get nearly 75 psi, around 45-50 at constant 70 mph, and
around 15 - 20 at idle when hot (195F thermostat). Prior to the oil
change I was getting 45 - 50 at hot cruising speed and about 15 - 20 at
idle.
