Re: lowest oil pressure for engine to survive
Its best to have at least 10 pounds of pressure per 1000 RPM. Theres certainly an issue inside the engine however what on your list is causing the issue is impossible to pick. A low reading like you have will work fine around town since your not really turning very high RPM. Just go easy until the cause is determined which will mean getting inside the engine.
