Just installed a autometer mechanical oil pressure gauge and at idle reads 20lbs does this sound right ? What does yours read ? I have a 3vze v6.

That sounds good.
But it's dependent on oil temperature and viscosity as well.

I have an electrical VDO oil pressure gauge that's now about 21 years old and still reads 20 psi at idle.

Cold idle around 30-40psi -- If I drive it cold the psi will hit 80+. Warm idle at 20psi and warm driving at 60. Running a mechanical sunpro gauge.

Not sure if it holds water with Yotas, but on my domestic stuff, 10 psi for every 1000 rpms is good, so yours sound just fine!
