Oil pressure at idle when hot?
I need to know what the oil pressure is of a stock L when the engine is hot and at idle.

In case you are wondering, I am trying to get the right size electric pressure valve for an Accusump.

Thanks

Not an L but my 01 Scab 5.4 gets 30# oil pressure idling in gear with a hot engine in 90*f on an Autometer Phantom mechanical.
Oil is Motorcarft 5w-20 semisynthetic. 20K on engine.

Hot (idle):25-30 psi.
Hot (WOT): 50-60psi.
Cold (idle):50-60psi
Cold(WOT):75-80psi

That's just my experience with my oil pressure gauge.

Thanks to all. Looks like the 20-25 PSIG model will be the right one.
