That is about the same for me, I run a gauge and a light, I use a stock oil pressure switch for the VW engine, they are about 5 bucks at a parts store, it could be the best $5 spent on insurance for your motor, it is always better to see what's going on there with 2 things that monitor the engine than just one.

You have good oil pressure. 10 psi per 1000 RPMs is good.
