Each vehicle will have a slightly different proper oil pressure, and it also depends on the season of the year. Generally speaking, a good pressure is 10 at idle, and 45 at 3,000 RPM.

What causes the oil pressure light to come on in a 2000 dodge neon?
Oil pressure lights indicate improper oil pressure. A pressure sensor is mounted on the engine to monitor the pressure. When the engine oil pressure drops to a level below the perameters required for proper engine operation as determined by the manufacturer, the sensor acts as a switch to complete an electrical current, illuminating the light. Low oil pressure can be caused by, among other things, insufficient oil level, or internal engine component wear, including a worn oil pump.
What are the dangers of low oil pressure on 2002 Mercury Mountaineer?
