Took my Magnum 2300 for a spin tonight..... The oil pressure lamp lit up
after the engine was warm, but the gauge says the pressure are ok (40 lbs)
Which should I trust?? The lamp or the gauge?? If the pressure is ok, why
are the lamp lit?? ...and, eh.. the warning lamp goes black at between
3500-4000 rpm...

Yep, says "Oil Pressure"...
According to HAYNES the oil pressure should be when hot 45-55 lbs. So it seems mine are a little low..
