Sounds good to me.

Mine is just slightly above the 1/2 mark when hot using 10w30 synthetic.

7-10 psi is about all thats required at idle.

my factory dash gauge reads 40psi whenever the truck is running.

my autometer oil pressure gauge usually reads 70-80psi on a cold startup, 45-55 at operating temp while cruising, and 20-30 at operating temp while idling

edit: this is all with Mobil 1 10w30 and WIX filter
