My truck hot idles at 32 to 33 psi . The screen with pressure Guage and oil temp is what I normally drive with . When getting into boost I usually look for the pressure to swing up.

The pressure in my pants swings up getting into boost as well.

Normal.

Post FSA 21B10, oil pressure runs at around 30 PSI at idle. In gear it drops to 20-23PSI. If you put the engine under load via moderate to heavy acceleration, it ramps to to ~60 PSI.

Oil level does not affect oil pressure unless the sump runs dry.
Yep thats exactly what I see with my truck post 21B10. However, since the 18s must have not had the option like 2020 did for the oil pressure on dash I'm unsure what it was prior.

I'd be curious what it would be in the prior calibration?
