It should be on the halfway point and while increasing RPM, your oil pressure should also go up. The rule of thumb is for every 1K rpm increase, there should be 10 psi of oil pressure increase. If not, you either have a weak oil pump on its way to fail or have internal oil leak or a damage bearing or two.

More likely sender not working or filter clogged, bearing would rattle if oil pressure that low |
