Hey guys,

Ever since I bought the car, I've noticed the oil light on the dash come on. I checked the oil level, and it seems to be fine. I check routinely too. Oil light is still on.

The previous owner had installed a Blitz DC Oil Pressure Gauge. For some reason, at idle at normal operation temps (I'm running 5w30 synthetic), I am reading the following value:

Is this normal for a redtop SR20 at idle? I read that normal idle should be around 11-15 PSI. Any help is appreciated, I don't feel like driving the car with the light on. Maybe its a bad sensor?
