The MC in my urQ pegs the needle on an 80psi gauge on start-up. When the
engine oil is up to temp the gauge reads 70psi at cruise and 30 at idle.
Both the gauges you mentioned will work fine. I find comfort is seeing
the needle to the far right, and it's easier to glance over occasionally
to see if things are still OK!!!!! In reality the 150 psi gauge would
be more accurate at "center scale" but your really not very interested
in a LB or so of pressure.........are you??
By the way the oil I use is Mobil 1 15/50 so the viscosity is fairly
consistant.HTH
