I was just wondering if my oil pressure should be dropping to 10 to 15 psi while driving at 60 mph, and 5 at idle. The pressure is fine when it is first started, but as it warms up the pressure drops. Any clues would be appreciated.

no it definatly shouldnt be that low unless theres something wrong with your gauge. you should never go below about 15psi with a warm engine while idling, at 60mph you should see anywhere from 50-75, and again i guess it all depends on the oil used and climate your in, these are my numbers but id definatly say yours is scary low. check that out.

It's within factory spec.
