That pressure definitely seems a little low during idle, but with a load, you seem fine. Our stock gauges are notorious for giving false readings, but despite that, I would make it a point of replacing your stock oil pressure sensor first. Give the system a good flush while your at it, and fill it up with a full synthetic brand (preferrably Mobil One). If that didn't solve your problem, let us know...
