i'm just curious as to what others oil pressures are reading when idling, at times i sure creep close to the low red line. i also notice some smoke from exhaust when at red lights, just wondering?

the stock gauges are NOT even close to being accurate! If you have around 50 psi HOT at 2400 rpm and 20~25 psi with rotela SYN 5-40... It takes a good half hour at highway speeds to get it hot!
