Well, upon looking at my oil pressure gauge at idle it seems to be low. I'm not sure if it's an issue or not, yes I have done research on here but I cannot decide if this is a problem or not.

my car does not have an oil light going off or anything like that and my car is acting normal and the pressure seems to be fine when actually driving. I'm fairly sure that the oil pressure has been the same at idle since I got the car but I haven't paid a ton of attention to it at idle.

My car idling is at around 700 RPMs, I have an 04 touring with 170287 miles to be exact. The oil level seems to be fine as well.

Should I be concerned? I will leave a photo of the oil gauge below.

Since you've done research -

A. you know that the sensor that sends data to that gauge is (or isnt?) reliable...
B. what the FSM says about oil pressure at idle? at 2000 rpm, and at 6000rpm (I'll give you a hint - LU-7)

Mine reads nearly identical and 46k on the clock. Pulls hard. No lights or anything.

All three of my VQs (DE, HR, VHR) have all read the same/similar at warm idle. Many threads all indicate SOP.

Glad you posted, bro. My 208k 06 idles the same way. Now i feel better.

Wow, I must be 1 of the lucky ones. Just under 30 at idle.

same, it was one of those things that felt maybe OK but would worry me until I got other opinions.

thanks to everyone who replied

Same on my '08. If I ever saw my gauge read that low, I'd have kittens.
