Altezza oil pressure

[sk1dlet]

hey people i have recently noticed that the oil pressure in my 98 rs200 has been fluctuating, i am unsure weather it's meant to do this or not as i have never noticed it before. it only seems to drop down to about quarter on the gauge when just stitting at intersections idling then soon as i take of it climbs back up to 3/4 where it normally would.
cud someone please inform me if this is ok or am i going to experience problems

cheers
Dylan

prefectly normal, oil pressure guages would be one of the worst guages to have,causes unnecessary worries.

sweet it's standard in a tezza so yea

if you REALLY want to know, go buy an after market accurate gauge with an accurate sender.

My tezza does that too.
(i could be wrong but......)
I always thought it was because oil pressure doesnt need to be as high when your idling as things arent happening too fast, when you've got some revs up its a bit more important to have a bit more oil up and around the place.

If you sit at about 7000rpm down a hill or something for 10secs or so it will drop to half.
