Maybe. Pressure is pressure and if you take readings off the FRONT of the engine, they will be 10-15 psi higher than from the rear, and not relate to what most of us get for oil pressure.

Note also that stock gauge readings are ALWAYS wrong- usually low- due to a mismatch between the Italian gauge and the U.S. sender. I use my console gauge to tell if there's ANY oil pressure; I have a mechanical gauge permanently mounted on a tee fitting in back along with the sender when I want to know how much pressure I have with 2% accuracy.

yes... but at what pressure are you gonna pull the engine and have a rebuild ??? Knowing=measuring is knowledge but when to decide something ? OK, we don't speak of adding oil, change visco etc...what pressure is alarming ?
