Engine Question about oil pressure gauge

[dqureshi06]

is anyone able to tell me what the oil pressure readings at each needle of the gauge would be? I know M should be around 50

Don’t know the pressures but I do know once my car is warmed up it’s near the bottom after using 10w-30 full synthetic when idling.

mine stays around the second line below the “A” when warm and idling. not worried about my oil pressure but I still want to know the exact numbers.

The sending units are notorious for being all over the place and failing. Only way you will know what yours reads is to use a mechanical gauge in parallel and then you will know for sure.

Your best bet is to get a guage for it. I understand you probably want Fords numbers but its not a very accurate guage to begin with

Edit. I see aerocoupe beat me to it

Any gauge recommendations? Autometer?

Autometer and the full sweep type.

I've had stock gauge readings change when swapping sending units too.
