For my '09, I notice mine dropping down to around 40 psi at idle, and sticking around 90 psi at speed. I was actually surprised to see such a high pressure. I've been figuring that my engine still isn't totally broken in because I've been using the M1 0w/40 oil in it, and it still runs at about 90 psi above 1500 rpm very consistently.

My GTS runs around 50 psi idle, and 60 psi under load. I typically run Red Line 10w/40 in that one, though.

That's amazing,because I was wondering just yesterday what normal oil pressure is for my 08.My oil pressure when engine is warm and at idle hovers around the low 30's(220kPa)but rises to about 90(625kPa)when accelerating.I don't remember it being that low when my car was new but I guess it is still within normal range based on the gauge.Using filter #05038041,double checked the canister today.

I'll assume you are talking about the tires. It should be 29 psi.

Is that ok for it to move around to those extremes?

It does seem like an extreme range but the car seems to run fine.It does worry me a little bit that at idle it drops so low,but it is still within normal parameters as indicated by the pressure gauge.

Mine, 09, is close to 90 psi cold at start up then down to 50 to 60 when warm. I have a little over
1000 miles.
