Oil pressure should be at least 11 psi (.8 kg/cm2 ) at idle and engine oil temperature of 167-194°F (75-90°C).

The information above is what I got from our database. As long as the pressure is at a mimimum of 11 psi during idling, there shuld be no problem as a higher running speed would have more than 11 psi.
