My oil gauge has usualy been on 40 and all of a sudden its at 20. I just had an oil change a week ago, so I know my level is good. Where is the oil gauge supposed to be when driving and when idling?

If this problem started around the time of the oil change, it may be a issue with the brand or weight of the oil used.
