Hi,
Me again.  Thought of a pretty important question.

What is the normal operating range for the oil pressure gauge in a 1.6L?
Mine will stick at right above 30psi at idle and will stay above 60 and
even hit past 90psi during spirited driving.  Is this normal?  I know
low oil pressure is bad, but what is too high?

thanks
