What does your oil pressure gauge read at an idle and the motor is at operating temp?

At idle I have about 20# with a warm motor.
Anything above 13# at idle with a warm motor is OK. What's yours doing?

It's right around there. It just seemed low to me but I wasn't sure. Thanks for the help!

What brand of oil filter are you using?

Mine reads 10 when warm at idle, then shoots up when rpm's come up.

My 99 usually reads between 15-20 at warm idle (Around 45 until warm) and at around 45 at cruising speed, no problems. Running 5-30 oil on a Wix filter.
