Default 2010 limited oil pressure

mine seems to be reading almost zero on idle and 15 on cruising . I am not sure if it has been like that since the start or started doing it - mileage is 5000 miles .

i am thinking faulty gauge or sensor . how much is yours ?

thanks
Sherif

gauge is probably off. Oil pr should be ~ 30-32 when rpm is above 2300. 12-15 psi is common when oil is hot and idling.

...or maybe the sender. I would deal with it sooner rather than later.

Mine runs around 32 when I am cruising and engine is warm. I would say yours needs attention as it could be any of the things mentioned above.
