What is the normal oil pressure reading for:

Warm engine at normal speeds?

Warm engine at idle?

Does Temp gauge indicate oil temp or cylinder head temp, and what is the normal operating temp in F or C?

What is the preferred 914 repair manual?

Rule of thumb for most cars:

You want at least 10 PSI per 1000 RPM with the engine warm.

Up until the pressure relief valve opens, at least.

The exact pressure depends on a lot of factors, from oil temp to oil pump condition to bearing clearances to oil viscosity...
