Default oil pressure

99 with a 5.2 What should the oil pressure be when the truck is at idle?

Default RE: oil pressure

It will vary with oil weight.
I run 10W-40 year round with Lucas oil stabilizer and after warmed up it holds 40psi at idle.
It shouldn't drop below 25psi with higher milage engines.
Keep in mind mine only has 30,000 miles.
