1.5 is ~22psi, sounds a bit low (compared to others I've seen), but
still decent. Just so long as you get good pressure on high revs which
you do. Sometimes, when oil is due for a change, idle pressure tends to
go down.
Oil was changed a coupe thousand mi ago. Maybe time for thinner oil.
Thanks for this advice.
