If your Oil Pressure is an Odd Number. Ex: 9, 11, 13, 15, etc

15 Ultra Limited CVO 23000 miles. SYN3 oil. 11 psi at 1000 rpm idle. 85 degrees after 44 mile ride. 18 to 23 psi at 2000 rpms. I have been concerned since my lifters are pretty noisy at start up and my warranty runs out in 4 months.

Right this minute it's showing 3 at 6 psi or less. Really?

Lowest oil press. observed on my '15 Limited was 13 PSI on a 100+ degree day, stuck in traffic with the fans goin' full blast, continuously. Plain ol' H-D dino oil, changed every 2500 miles. Factory-stock motor, other than S&S lifters and adj. push rods.

I just had a stage 3 installed on my bike. I also had them put the billet cam plate and high volume oil pump in. My bike is now 18 psi at idle and 42 psi on the highway.
