Of my three Packards only the '50 currently runs. The oil pressure at speed is just under 40. I don't remember what the idle pressure is but there is enough pressure to keep the lifters quiet. Outside temperature doesn't seem to have any effect on the oil pressure as the engine stays in the mid-range of the temperature gauge even on the hottest Summer days.
