Can anyone tell me what the oil pressure should be at idle in an unmodified, base 2013 991 C2 (3.4l)?

Here you go.

Jeez...was it 37 degrees in Pa this morning? Was 74 in Boca Raton. Porsche weather except Fla is as flat as a pancake.

This is about where my C2S is when operating temp at normal (as these are) and car at idle.

yeah. it's cold here ..gets up to 55 in the afternoon....

that is not really a surprise....the engines are, except for the displacement, essentially the same.

Wow, except for RNL, the other replies are not very useful. This is not the purpose of Rennlist.

Freeman, low 20's seems to be normal at idol. Unfortunately, it has also been the regular morning temp here. Mine is out of storage at home, but grounded due to inclement weather and really dirty roads.

Oil pressure at idle in my 3.8 S is about 21 psi.

Thank you all. Twenty-one PSI seems to be the norm at idling temperature regardless of environmental temperature. That should be stored in our memory banks. I had a Christmas -eve event on I-75 in rural Georgia many years ago when I did not appreciate what constituted a low oil pressure.
