What is the normal psi range on the 2008?

I'll assume you are talking about the tires. It should be 29 psi.
Thanks, my bad I was asking about the range on the oil psi gauge.

Idle will be 50-70 psi cold and 80 ish at speed when warm.

Is it normal for it to dip below the 50 mark on the gauge?

It can when hot at idle. Sometimes it gets better when you change the oil. Do you have the correct Mopar filter on it?

For my '09, I notice mine dropping down to around 40 psi at idle, and sticking around 90 psi at speed. I was actually surprised to see such a high pressure. I've been figuring that my engine still isn't totally broken in because I've been using the M1 0w/40 oil in it, and it still runs at about 90 psi above 1500 rpm very consistently.
My GTS runs around 50 psi idle, and 60 psi under load. I typically run Red Line 10w/40 in that one, though.

Yes correct filter. I do notice this when the engine has been running for a while.

That's amazing,because I was wondering just yesterday what normal oil pressure is for my 08.My oil pressure when engine is warm and at idle hovers around the low 30's(220kPa)but rises to about 90(625kPa)when accelerating.I don't remember it being that low when my car was new but I guess it is still within normal range based on the gauge.Using filter #05038041,double checked the canister today.

It does seem like an extreme range but the car seems to run fine.It does worry me a little bit that at idle it drops so low,but it is still within normal parameters as indicated by the pressure gauge.
my 09 ACR also idles at 90-95psi cold, then down to 50-60 when hot
