Rent oil pressure test gauge @ parts store - remove oil pressure switch - screw in test gauge - - HOW MUCH OIL PRESSURE under same operating conditions?
Low quality oil pressure switch ?
Low viscosity oil ?
Cheap oil filter ?
Clean fresh 10-W-30 oil and a new ‘quality’ oil filter?
50 to 60 psi is EXTREME!
