It should be around 30 psi at idle. But the stock oil pressure senders aren't exactly reliable.

Download the S5 factory service manual (FSM), and take a look at the vacuum diagram in the fuel & emissions section to find where that line goes.

at idle it could not even show anything, like he said above, there not reliable. You will need a mech gauge to really tell what is going on.

20psi is about the lowest I have ever heard of, with 60psi being the top at Idle
