Other question oil mar les 30 after a while running, Is this normal?
Tanks for comments

Your temperature is fine. Better a little low than high.
Oil pressure less than 30 after warmed up is normal. The engine is lubricated by oil flow, which you have at any pressure, not oil pressure. It also depends on the oil you use. In the summer when it's always over 60° F engine starting temperature I use S.A.E. 40. It gives a little higher oil pressure. Between 32° F and 60°F starting temperatures S.A.E. 30. We get colder than that in the winter here so I'm trying 20W-50 this winter. Still seems like the pressure is low. But, as I say. I don't think pressure is critical.
