Anywhere between about 25 to 35psi, give or take.

IIRC, my 2020 idled at 32?

When I first fired up my 25 ram with the Hurricane and PSI held 21, I almost turned her around to the dealership LOL

Yeah, ours idles in the mid 30's, but the HPL oil is a bit heavier. @The Critic's truck is lower than ours, so there's definitely a range.

Mine is at 29 psi on Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W20.
