this will vary so much; plus it will depend on what oil, mileage the motor has covered, oil temp.

what is your oil pressure?

ford say min at 850rpm 1.8bar and min at 2000rpm 2.4bar and thats with 20w 50 oil at 80 degres c so at that temp its with a 50 weight oil so may be a bit lower with a 40 weight oil!
