 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.
