interesting, I would think my lower end is in good shape as owner #1 had Mobil synthetic since 1988 in Europe, and likewise with me since.
I'm seeing only about 10-12 psi oil pressure at idle when hot, which is low, not terminal, enough for decent flow...but still.... it does ride over 40 psi when it revs past 3000rpm, but still it is lower than it use to be. the car is extremely smooth up to redline under full boost and load.
I had the oil pump apart last year and there was no visual signs of wear but I did not take a gauge to it at the time, so...that doesn't mean much;-)
Is it possible that the pump gears are worn enough to cause this even though 'visually' everything looks fine. It's a 9K so easy peasy to take it apart;-)
