L-H is oil pressure. C-H engine temperature. What do you mean?

Sorry didn't read what I wrote...is the oil pressure high? Or is that normal operating pressure. It will sit at that level while driving and drop to dead center at a stop.

It is normal. Don't worry about it.

Scroll through your evic and you can read read the oil pressure at idle and different driving situations.

My hot oil pressure is 39 to 41 at idle in drive. On the road it runs 51 to 52 at 65 mph.

These are my numbers, too. I'd be nervous with low 20s, only because that is much lower than I ever see, even at (very) hot idle.

I think you're hot oil pressures tells you alot as to what you're oil is doing. When I had my Dakota Valvoline Synpower had the least amount of oil pressure at hot idle than anything else I ran in it. Haven't used it in a long time now so I don't know if it's the same way now or not.
