Need some help on gauges At what levels are the battery voltage, oil pressure, and rpm supposed to be at? (whenever the car is at its maximum temperature)

battery voltage, oil pressure, and water temp you mean?
Battery, 12-13 volts, Oil Pressure 70-80 when cold 30-40 warm ( i think) and water temp if you have a stock thermostat should be around 195, in traffic it climb up to 220 or so and then the fans kick on, if it keeps going up you have a problem!

cool, my oil pressure seems to be at a 20 when moving, a little lower than 20 at a dead stop. My rpm(my cars automatic) seems to be around 800. Is that ok?

Your idle is fine, but I think you should check out your oil pressure, it seems really low. When i'm at a dead stop mine sits RIGHT at 20 and i'm kinda getting worried about it. I'm wondering if it's my oil pump. HOPEFULLY NOT
