Default oil pressure

what are causes of low oil pressure and what can happen if your oil pressure is low?

I believe mine is on the low side... should i worry? this is a stock 96 civic dx.

what is the minimum oil psi it should be at?

You say you have low oil pressure... what are you comparing it to? Give numbers and some details about your setup.

It's just a stock motor. My friend gave me an oil pressure gauge he had that he was gonna throw out (an el cheapo one) so I just put it on so I could monitor the health of my motor. It's reading around 5-10psi at idle after the car is warmed up
