What is the Normal Oil Pressure At Idle?

[ram360]

When the motor is up to operating temp and idling? I just put on mechanical gauge on the car and wanted to see what is normal. As far as I know it's a standard volume oil pump. Car is 88Gt.

Stock usually I see 35-50 in most cars over the years.

It's going to vary depending on your oil weight, oil filter type, bearing clearances... Anything over 10 psi at idle is good. I believe the rule of thumb is 10 psi for everything 1000 rpm.
