That is a good graphic Phil, JUST my opinion, but yours looks just fine to
me, no worries.

Subject: DML: Scary Oil problems making me nervous

After reading all that about the engine problems with the oil/sludge, I was
watching my oil pressure gauge like a hawk las night! :)

I recall someone saying their pressure gauge stays at a solid 50. Mine
fluctuates from idle to running speed. At idle, it looks like it is around
30 and at running speed maybe 50-60? It's really hard to tell with these
damn gauges as the graduations on them are wacky. The needle is just left of
40 at idle and just left of the hash mark before the 110 hash mark.(about
where the *'s are)
ie:
\ *| */ /
10 40 110

Is this normal for the 4.7L? It has always done it as far as I can remember.
