Oil pressure reading

I have a 2010 ultra with 8,500 on it. What should the oil pressure be reading while its idling and what should it be traveling down the road at say 60-65mph.

Hot at Idle 5-8ish. Sometimes looks real close to zero. It's good as long as the idiot light doesn't come on.

I believe the book says 30-34 at 2000 rpm.

Remember, it's not a pressure lube system like your car.

Cold idle probably 10-15 lbs. Hot idle, 5 psi, Normal at highway speeds around 32 warmed up. Mine will drop to around 28 psi on 100 degree days or against heavy headwinds. Like he said, if the idiot light stays off, you're good.
