when I start my car, cold, she goes up to ~44 PSI.. after five to ten minutes of driving, she'll be at high end of norm. operating temperatures and the oil pressure will be ~8-10 PSI regardless of my RPM... do I need to stay over 3k rpm for a certain period of time before I see the pressure begin to rise again? cause I cruise at about 2.5k rpm and only get over 3k when I'm accelerating or on the freeway at 65+ mph... but I still don't see a rise in pressure until I turn her off and let her sit and cool for a bit..
