What a Manuel Gauge reading normal reads as

I noticed the other day that my oil pressure gauge was reading low so when I get time I’m going to put a Manuel gauge on it to see what it reads. Does anyone know what a typical manual gauge reading is? Thanks For the help!!

Mine always reads 25 idle hot, 50 above idle hot.

The Dodge dash gauge has little to do with reality, other than if it's in the middle band it's probably OK.

Your truck's 20+ years old. A fresh sending unit could make a difference in your oil pressure. As long as it's up in the middle it's good, I gained a line when I replaced the original sending unit.
