I have a Rv6 with a 180 hp lycoming engine
At cruise my oil pressure is 67 lbs is that a correct number

Thank you

So you think 67 is good Sounds a little low oil temperature 195

Yes…within Lycoming range 55-95…simple internet search.

Oil volume has an impact on this ..what is yours ? Depending on model, easy to adjust.

Assuming you mean "pressure" here. If not, please educate me.

What do you think your oil pressure should be? You seem uncomfortable with the manufacturer’s recommendations for normal oil pressure.

Mine's about 80 in cruise, 65 in the pattern, and about 55 at idle. Have you checked your suction screen to see if it's clean and clear? Clogged suction screens have been a cause of low pressure for some aircraft.
