Author Topic: 90 5.0 Stock Oil Pressure? SVTMike ¯ Member # 2345 posted                                 i just installed my autometer electric oil pressure gauge. The pressure reads 50psi and goes up and down a little. Anyways i was wondering does 50psi seem right for a stock 5.0 oil pressure or is my gauge messed up? -------------------- 1985 1/2 Mustang SVO 2003 SVT Focus Posts: 766 | From: San Leandro | Registered: Jan 2003  |  : 88gt Custom Member # 579 posted                                 When is it reading 50? Is that cold or warm, idling or cruising? Pressure is dependant on a few factors, so it won't always be at a constant while the car is running.
