oil pressure question

fish2live · 05-11-08, 06:29 PM

I recently just had a major service done at the stealership (4 days ago) - they put new AMSoil throughout as well as a new AMSoil filter (same as before). I noticed today that my oil pressure at idle is about 1/4 up the needle. At full rev it jumps to 1/2. I can't quite recall, but I'm pretty sure it always ran at 1/2 way up the guage - which is where it should be as I see it.

Any thoughts on what might have changed or causes?

I don't think this is normal, is it??

Thanks,
Fish

my gauge is mostly at or below the 1/2 mark unless I am towing a heavy load
