94 Passport/Rodeo, V6

I'm getting only about 10-15 psi oil pressure at idle. I recall that at
idle, it normally ran about 20-30 psi. Dipstick reads full.

Should I be looking at anything here?

Thanks,
Bill

My '95 Passport idles at 6-10psi. Scares the hell out of me. But every
time I ask the question, I'm told it's normal. I would say if you were
getting 20-30 at idle, you were running high. LOL.

Also, Honda recommends 0W oil in this rig.

Anything but the dash-mounted oil pressure guage! They are
notoriously inaccurate.

If concerned about the oil pressure, I'd suggest attaching a good
mechanics guage to make measurements. That will let you kind'a
"calibrate" the dash guage and then use it for comparisons and trends,
but never absolute readings.

Of course, you could also install an aftermarket guage set if accurate
readings during operation is important.
