it means your bearings are pretty worn, about 3/4 worn at a guess....

I have seen worse, I'v seen cars where the light comes on at idle! and thats about 4psi or less.

The engine in my GC, which has done a hard 230kkm, does 20psi at idle.
bear in mind tho, that even a few hundred rpm more or less at idle makes a big difference, but idle oil pressure is that big a deal.

The rest of the numbers are liveable
