When I asked the previous owner if the seemingly low OP was normal, he stated "It has OP, right? Then don't worry about it". He said a full-warmed up engine in otherwise good condition doesn't need much OP at idle with no load on it.

What if it goes down to zero at idle fully warmed up? 80 cold, 60 warm, but then in drive thru at dutch bros. the temp was closing in on 220 and the oil pressure was at zero
