Thanks for that info Rockbit. I just changed my oil and oddly enough, when draining it, I only got about 7 qts out, whereas I ordinarily fill it with 9 plus the filter, totaling about 9 3/4 qts. Assuming the remaining oil was trapped in oil cooler and lines, I lifted front of car, hoping to drain more oil out, yet none appeared. I subsequently filled with only 8 qts, including filter. My car doesn't have a dipstick (not sure why builder chose that), but it does have a small one on top of side portion of Canton oil pan. That small dipstick show pan is full. All of that said, your oil pressure numbers are slightly less than what I believe I've had in the past. After my oil change, my oil pressure show around 60lbs at idle and 80-85lbs when revving motor. Does those numbers indicate I've put too much oil in crankcase?
