Ques on oil pressure on a stock 5.0. Stock gauge will read about 1/2 when cold at idle or under load. Once warm, the gauge reads 1/2 when driving, but when at idle, gauge will drop down to about 1/4. (2nd line from the bottom i believe.) Is this normal? I know the stock gauges are sh*t, just wanted some input. This is the case with my 90Gt, as well as a friends 91 GT conv. Thanks.
