Does anyone here knows what the oil temp gauge and oil press gauge should read at when its at idle and when the car is moving. I just put a set of electrical guages and I'll be honest I dont know what the readings mean.

for oil temp is at about 180 when the oil is hot. and about 120 when i first turn the car on.

for oil press when the car is sitting is at a little below 20 and when i hit the gas it goes up to about 80.

I tried searching but no luck. Btw is an S13 w/ s14 SR20
