Why does my oil pressure drop when I turn?
When oil viscosity is too low or high, it may be detected as a loss of pressure in the oil supply to the engine. Viscosity that is too high may produce greater resistance from the oil being pumped, leading to a lack of lubrication in the system and consequently lower pressure.
What should oil pressure be when engine is off?
