I have a dedicated oil gauge on my car. My old engine (RIP) never had good pressure when heated up. I was nervous to see under 5psi when at idle. The engine in it now (for the time being anyway) is a 13 and the oil pressure gets as low as 5psi but never less. This has always seemed odd to me. The old engine also used a little oil (about a quart every 4000-5000 miles) and the catch can would get about a shot glass full of oil every 1000 miles (I don't know about the 13 engine). I don't known why engine would be different from another, but there it is.
