Default oil pressure

What does your oil pressure gauage show at idle and at driving speed after it is warmed up.

I run 5-40 oil

And I just want to compare to make sure the new-to-me car is normal.

Thanks
Kyle

Here are my observations (corrected for the fact my gauge is off by about .5 bar due to a badly executed gauge face replacement by the PO).

Mobil 0W40 (I am going to 5 W50 next)

Cold
@Idle 4.5 bar
@ 2,800 rpm cold 4.7 bar


At operating temp

@ 2,800 rpm 3.5 bar
@ idle 1.4 bar

Most of the time running around town it is in the same range Dennis indicated.
