Cooler engine might = higher oil pressure.

My temp guage used to stay up close to the 210 mark and now it sits right on the midway mark between 155-60(whatever it is) and 210. On COLD days it'll be just below that mark but, the temp never goes below the high 160s according to EFILive.

I changed my idler pulley because the supercharger beat the stock one to death.

I would tend to believe the cooler temp will make the pressure higher. What I want to know is why my oil pressure is dropping (down to 10) while I am crusing along... Guess I should probably pull the pan, huh?
