So any clues why mine might be a little bit low? Maybe my oil pressure sender is playing up, we did take the oil pump out and reseal it but I'm fairly sure nothing went wrong there, otherwise things would be well more screwed than they are...
hmmm 
How fair up is a "bit" - mine may go just past the join of the first two sections, but not much more than a mm or so.
I guess when I think about it - the oil pressure (once the pump has hit a certain threshold) probably shouldn't change much - I mean, by design, these things pressurise the oil a certain geometrically defined ratio -> so as long as the pressure stays steady it should be okay - although the overall oil flow of the oil pump might change as revs rise, the pressure of the oil won't.
Any fluid dynamics dudes disagree?
My car idles at about 800rpm, and registers about 1/3 of the gauge, at about 1500 rpm, the gauge is a bit of the way off of the half way point, and at about 2500 it's fairly centred from there on.
Sound good?
