The specs for the 216 in the sedan stated that at 2000 rpm, there should be at least 7 lbs pressure. "It is not dangerous to drive it with slightly less but it should be looked at and repaired". I think some run quite nicely with less pressure, especially on a modern oil like 10W30. The weight of oil has quite am affect on the pressure.
