The "rule of thumb" I've always heard is you need at least 10 psi of oil pressure for each 1000 RPM of engine speed. In other words if your holding 5 psi at 500 RPM idle speed and then getting at least 36psi at high idle of 3600 RPM then the engine will be just fine. My old J-10 Jeep has a 360 AMC engine in it. I'm used to a small block Chevy with abundant oil pressure so I was worried, when I bought it, that it didn't hold much more than the pressures I just mentioned. It's been holding the same pressures for nearly 12 years now and still running strong.
