Oil Pressure Gauge Reading at Idle

[forest]

What do normal oil pressure gauge readings look like for everyone?  I have a 5.3.  Is this low at idle?

 

Thanks.

Did you get your oil leaks fixed?

[Sneaky pete]

No

Sneaky Pete is correct. 

 

Oil leak is not repaired. 

 

Dealer where I bought truck hasn't called me back to schedule. 

 

I left them voicemail over 10 days ago letting them know it's still leaking after they put dye in it.

 

I am hesitant to call them multiple times now since they told me I was making a big deal out of it.

 

I am paying for a rental car out of pocket to minimize the amount I have to drive it but unfortunately I have to tow the landscaping equipment.

 

Hopefully the dealership will call back soon.

 

Oil level is fine on dipstick though so I thought maybe this oil pressure reading is normal.

 

Never had digital gauge before.

 

Pressure does increase at higher rpm.

same as my 6.2 fully warmed up idle.

Thanks for that info.  Makes me feel a bit better when I have to drive around with the oil cooler lines leaking that there isn't a loss of pressure.

No.

Just a FYI my 3.0 drops to 19 PSI at idle when warmed up on a Scan Gauge 3. The dash gauge looks the same as your pic.
