Whats the Oil Pressure Supposed to be at

I have always wondered what it should be at, i see the mark for the 60, which i believe is normal, but i get like an estimated 3/8 lower than that mark, i know i have enough oil, i check it every week or so, I think something is wrong here, but not sure.

The oil pressure gauge is terrible in our cars, but when it does work the pressure at idle should be the first white mark below 60, but should jump to 120 under WOT.

Your gauge must be fucked up, it shouldn't be that low. Or you have some other problems.

i just now found out the other problems, the damn plugs and wires were covered in oil, and probably were like that for a long time, i rarely have time to fix the car, so just let it go like that until the car wouldnt start. I am taking it to a mechanic to fix the problem, g-d knows how much this bill will be.
