Default Oil Pressure/Temp

I have Z51 C6 and my oil pressure rarely reaches 40 lbs or more. Seems low to me, especially with an oil cooler. Also, what range should my oil temp run?

Thanks.

There was a thread not too long ago in the Tech section.The consens was that at hot idle the oil pressure is at around 25-30 psi

Does the C6 have a oil temp guage as standard equipment, or is that a mod?

Sorry, I'm a recent Ford Cobra convert. Thanks.

It's part of the display with the DIC, which comes with the 1SB option. Also have battery voltage, tranny fluid temp, coolant temp, oil press.
