Idle oil pressure is essentially irrelevant. This link is a great read on oil. Later in the article it discusses how to pick the correct weight oil for your specific motor. Assuming there is no mechanical damage, you essentially pick a hot weight based on oil pressure at a certain rpm. Very informative.
