Oil pressure

Is my oil pressure ok? My 1996 jeep Cherokee is at around 30 psi at idle and usually around 50 psi driving. Is that ok?

It means your engine wear is OK. Don't get obsessed over oil pressure.....too many variables effect the readings. As long as you have pressure your engine is getting lubed. The amount of pressure is not related to the amount of oil being pushed through the engine.
