Duratec oil pressure

I'm hearing varied opinions on whats normal on these engines. From warm tickover at 20 psi to warm tickover at 35-40 psi...

Engine is running std oil pump and 5w40 oil.

Can anyone give advice here?

1.4 bar stinking hot after a good thrash





I'd love to give my imaginary friend a great big hug,

but this jacket makes it impossible.

Thanks gents, so i guess 20-25 is about norm. My brothers car runs upto 45 psi on revs when fully warm so i think he is safe.
