Dont listen to this nutter mate he`s just taking the piss, your oil pressure isnt that bad, try changing your oil and see if that makes a difference, we use the silkolene pro s 10 50 its great oil on a warm day after a bit of running the lowest ive seen mine is 25 but everyones different

Out of interest, what oil is in it and how old is it?
