Default Oil PSI

On average, in 50 degree weather, what's everyones oil pressure for the first 5 or so minutes when starting up the car cold?

depends on what kind of oil you. 5W-30 vs 10W-30 and the engine speed. Personally, i use mobil 1 0W-40. cold start pressure is about 90 psi after start up and conservative drive for the first 5 minutes is about 75-120. then once it gets to operativing temperature, psi is about 70 @ 3000rpm, 30 @ idling
