What is the proper "location/range" for the needle on the oil gauge on the dash when the can is running? I start the car and goes between 4 and the line between 4 and 8 then "kicks back" to the first line betwen the red zone and the line between the red zone and 4.
Some times it does not do this "right away" after the car is started.

ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Lubrication is provided by a gear-driven, eccentric-type pump. Oil from pump goes through a full-flow, disposable oil filter to all moving engine components. Oil then passes through oil cooler and returns to oil pan. Oil pressure regulator, located in oil filter housing, is nonadjustable.
