You got me there. But I do know, I am not going to compare different engines to each other.

Maybe I don't get stuck in bad traffic much these days. Stop lights and small traffic jams don't take me down to zero psi. Maybe we need to define what is hot.,,,

At idle there is no load on the engine. Just a few psi is enough. Once you pull away from the light your engine starts to "work" and the oil pressure rises just when it's needed!

True no load, but it is spinning, metal on metal. RPMs. I am glad I don't have your guys harleys. Mine must have been forged by unicorns.
