Hello,

Now that I am putting some miles on the rebuilt engine in my Charger (almost 2500 now), I noticed that the factory gauge has gradually read lower than it did before. I know some of this is normal as the engine wears in. However, my oil pressure gauge has read as low as midway between the bottom and first mark when idling at 800rpm, fully warm on a hot day. Cruising around 2500-300 rpm puts it straight up when its hot.


I don't hear any ticking from lifters but I wanted to see how normal this is. FWIW the gauges were rebuilt by Intrument Specialties around 5 years ago. I run 10w30 oil.

Thanks!
