Yep, this has been the guiidelines for decades. Most engines, set up with rod and mains set towards the lower end of tolerances will run at least 30-35 psi at idle when hot. The 15 psi at idle really bugs me - as does the sudden rise to 80 when you put your foot in it; it has to be some electronic nanny artificially dropping the OP via some bypass. OP requires energy, and energy cost fuel. I'll bet racing Mustangs have found a way to defeat the electronics and restore OP to what the engine lubrication system is actually producing.On oil pressure, 10 lbs per 1,000 rpm used to be the golden rule.
Or maybe the Coyote has a variable speed electric oil pump? I'll do some research on the lubrication system on these engines.
