Default Oil pressure

When i start my car up when its cold it goes up to about 50-70 psi. But after it warms up and I drive it when it is just idling it goes to like 10-12 psi it the okay for a D16Z6 what could cause it. My car is turbo too

The oil is thicker when it is cold, so it causes more pressure. You're ok, that's exactly what it should do.

My engine has a low pressure problem. In order to keep it around 70 Kpa, I had to raise the idle to 1100 rpm. And even then sometimes if im crusing on the highway and then there is traffic and I coast it even drops below to 40-50 Kpa.

Anyone have a problem like this?
