What’s the oil pressure you see on cold idle and hot idle? Also for reference if you can share Cruise oil pressure.

In my dakota, for the first time today, during landing when I pulled my power to idle my oil pressure dropped to 35 and caused the red light to go ON but in cruise it was stable 69. It went above the yellow line when I pushed throttle a little bit but kept dropping on idle. On startup it was okay and in range, just low on warm engine after landings.
