NM,

Dont know for a 4 banger, but normal for a V6 3.4L. mine shoots up to 75psi at start up. After driving around for awhile, it is around 50-55psi and at idle after driving around, between 12-15psi.

My Haynes Manual says
Four-cylinder engines oil pressure is 4.3 psi minimum at Idle, and 36 to 71 psi at 3,000 RPM.
