Default What's Oil Pressure supposed to be?

Hey guys, I notice on my analog gauge the oil pressure appears to be over half, but when you scroll through the evic, its only at 335 kpa or 49 psi....does that sound right?

Mine sits at that after warmed up. Around 50-60 psi cold I think. I'll dbl chaeck next time I get out driving, but I remember seen that 49 psi on my EVIC.

Yes, I think the pressure regulator must be set for 50 psi, as mine is almost always under that. About 25 psi when idling and fully warmed up.

Often times they program the cluster to keep the oil pressure needle more centered towards normal, if the computer detects oil pressure, because people would be calling dealerships like crazy when their needle reads low pressure once the engine is fully warmed up
