What should a oil pressure gauge read at idle?
at warm idle...about 12psi. give or take a few psi depending on how heavy of an oil you use.

15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
i think toyota says you need at least 10psi at idle or you could cause turbo bearing damage. dont quote me on that though.

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
Toyota only calls for 5 PSI [I think it's actually closer to 4, like 4.4 or something] at idle.
Or more of course.
lol, my rotary called for 35-45psi on idle.
