12psi is REALLY low. WHat oil are you using?
I'm just saying, I've never seen mine go but a hair below 25psi and I run 5w20/5w30 castrol (I was using mobil 1 5w20 but i decided to switch to castrol high milage with pos. results)

I now use castrol 5w30 high milage, but I was using mobil 1 5w-20 and my pressure was always 20 at idle (20 on the very low side, my gauge only has a 25 for the lowest, it's a hair below that.)
Maybe it's an 04 thing? Me and griggs both run about 20

Yah the oil gauge in the dash only works if there's no oil in the pan and oil in the pan. Just reads if there's oil or not. It's dumb, but Fords way of cheapin out. They like to give you that feeling of security knowing you can monitor your motor, until something bad happens and the gauge still reads the same lol
