My stock oil pressire gauge has been acting up a bit. I know i need to get a manual one. After driving for about 30 mins. the gauge sometimes goes into the low. It is still in the normal area but it conserned me a little bit. When i put a new gauge what kind of oil pressure should i be looking to have. The truck is a 89 F30 with at least 205,000 miles. it could have 305k or 405K. Thanks Kevin

Minimum hot oil pressure is 10 psi at curb idle 650 RPM
minimum hot oil pressure at 3000+ RPM should be 40-70 psi
