What should a miata in decent running condition read on its oil pressure gauge? I thought i noticed mine running a bit low at around 15. I checked the manuals but it didn't say anything about it. Any help would be great since i finally have it back on the road.

Typical readings cold:
Idle: 30
3000: 90
warm:
Idle: 15-20
3000: 50-60
Cold and warm refer to the temperature of the oil, not the ambient temp.
If you do decide to check with a mechanical gauge, remember that the threaded fitting in the block is 1/8" BSP, not 1/8" NPT. Correct adaptor: http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pro...asp?RecId=3142
