When my car idles or if I stop a light or something the pressure reads about at the 1/4 mark (digital dash). Is this normal?

Thanks.

Yeah, that should be fine. As long as it doesn't go to zero, you should be fine.

What happens if it does go to 0?? Mines been doing it alot lately when I've been going for about 1/2 hour or more, I'm thinking I might just have to take it into my mechanic to get her fixed.

Could be one of three things..... oil pressure sensor, low oil level, or a bad oil pump. I would get your situation checked out. If it is because of low fluid or your oil pump, the life of your engine will be severely compromised!

Yeah I know the level is right so it must be the sensor or the pump.

the oil pressure sensor is a very common problem in our cars so i would check that first before you start messing with stuff.
