What should my oil pressure be at idle, and while driving?
When I start up my car, its at like 80psi, and then while its warmed up, the oilpressure is around like 10 while idle....

And What should my Vac be at idle?
Mine is like 20.

My car has been running great, iv just always wondered, if my oil pressure is suppost to be higher?
 
Yeah our cars have a really low oil pressure under idleing, 10-15 is normal on a warm engine. You have good vacuum also.
 
Yeah you car is running correctly. My Vacuum is 20 while idleing too. As for my Oil pressure gauge, i kind of screwed up the installation, but i'm going to get it fixed when I get the chance. But i heard that oil pressure is supposed to idle at 10-15 psi, so your good.
