Can anybody tell me what my oil pressure should be at idle? Fully built KA
RPM at idle are at 750
Mobil Synthetic 5-30 oil.
My oil pressure guage shows 10 lbs at idle and warmed up. When I step on gas pressure goes up. But is 10 lbs safe and correct?

Yep, its fine. Only start to worry when it doesn't go up with rpms.

i know that SR's are around 14psi at idle. check your fsm. 10psi sounds a bit low.

I'd run a thicker oil if I were you
