When in cruise at 5100-rpm the oil pressure reads around 41-psi at 200-degrees F. That's at the bottom of the green arc. Reduced power in the pattern at 3300-rpm oil reads 58/205 or so. Standing still after taxi in, oil temp/pressure stays around 58/195 @4000rpm This all seems backwards to me. The oil level is full..right up to the flat on the dip stick. Not using any oil, engine runs fine... Your ideas?

Is oil line installation still per Van's plans? Did you do an oil system "purge" after you changed the oil line? Need more info.
