What should the oil pressure be at operating temp and at idle. I have a mechanical guage hooked up to it right now and it started at about 75 and is dropping as it gets warmed up.

Its a 2005 dodge magnum 2.7 liter

thanks for any quick replies

Any body out there with an answer

 

Have you tried an Oil Pressure sensor?
or just disconnect it and see if light goes away.

 

I changed the oil pressure switch first hoping that would solve the problem, but i put an after market switch in. Light and dinging came on almost imediatly so i pulled the switch out and put in a mechanical guage and i have 10 psi at operating temp at idle, i also can see oil circulating at the heads if i take the oil cap off and look down there. I am guessing that i need to get a switch from the dealer. To get an acurate reading. $69.00 at the dodge dealer-----ouch

any other ideas
