If you want more pressure because your **** like me you should get a purolater pure one oil filter and a good oil... get the purolater that is the stock size there is a smaller one people try to sell you... they sell em a t pep boys i think and advanced auto parts.. they are recently redisigned and are badass

That is plenty of oil pressure at idle, do not worry about it.
If you get an oil filter that increases your oil pressure you're probably hurting yourself more than helping. Pressure is resistance to flow, you don't want resistance, you want flow. An oil filter that increases pressure over another new filter is a hindrance.
