Oil pressure?

What should the oil pressure of a 89 2.9 be at. My gauge is pointing to the low side. Bwtween the N and O of NORMAL. Should I worry? I changed the oil this morning because I noticed it yesterday and it can't hurt.

The factory Guage just shows that you have oil pressure, it does not show you how much,its just a fancy idiot light{it uses the same sending unit as the light DDDAAAAA!!} If it moves any at all you have oil pressure.to know how much you need a real medcincal{spelling}guage.

I have a mechanical one in my garage, but what should I expect when I hook it up? Could it be a bad sensor/sender? Im a little worried, she is about to hit 190K.

Thanks
