Just fitted one of the new Cosworth billet style HP oil pumps to my 4x4 cossie, I know it's not a 2wd but hopefully will give you some idea.
I get 75-80 psi pressure from cold, 25-30 psi pressure at idle when warm and 60-65 psi when driving. I'm using 10W50 Silkolene Pro S oil.
Hope this helps

lb" = POUND(per) SQUARE INCH / PSI so is the same.
I started my dads car up yesterday to move it a xr4i with V8 rover engine, 20PSI COLD, and that is GOOD for one of these, it drops off the scale when warm!!

it's just that I was not expecting pressure to be around 100psi from cold...but I will try to let the engine get warm and see if it drops...hopefully...

The rover V8 is a high volume, low pressure oil supply engine, 35/40psi when warm at 3000revs.
NOT to be confused with COSSIE oil pressure, I was just saying that it(cossie) is not low compared to some.
The figures given by people above is what I would expect from a cossie engine, I'd not be worried if mine had 20psi@idle so long as it picked up on the move.
