Oil and Amp Gauge

So when I'm driving around the oil gauge goes up to the 4 thats around 45+mph it stays there is that a good thing or to low of pressure. I know flow is more important then pressure.
Also the amp gauge doesn't move one bit at all stays at that spot.


Oil Gauge is the 2 4 6 mean pounds? 20 pounds 40 pounds 60 pounds?

these guages are pretty basic .. amp meter wont move much .
If you look at it ,The meter is 50+ or 50- .. and your truck is only running at ~ 14 .. so it wont move much .
The oil pressure guage , it is measured in kg/cm2 , which for you guys(americans) who decided to stay on the "imperial measurement system" this is METRIC as most of the rest of the world measures things
