    I don't know what it should be but I know it's not 10psi
    I was confused now I'm just not so sure!!

    When the engine is cold the pressure is higher. Same as when you rev the engine.

    thanks. the v6 i had in the car has an oil pressure sensor which switched at about 50kpa so thats not even 10psi, so i think the readings correct and i have nothin to worry about.
