Proper oil pressure is between 64-78psi at 3k RPM, as per the factory service manual. Over 3K should be the same, idle should be around 20-25psi.
Low oil pressure could indicate a failed thermo bypass pellet or a bad guage, amoung other things.

Or the gauge may just be crap. The oil pressure gauge in my mechanic's GSL-SE has never worked properly, and his 7 is still running fine...
