Re: Oil Pressure
Mine is around 5 bar in really cold weather, then just above 1 bar once up to temp, this was with 20w 50 though back when I had an oil leak on my high mileage engine. Haven't checked since my rebuild though. I think 2 bar at around 2k revs warm is about right

Re: Oil Pressure
At start up when cold, it will probably be about 5 bar, gradually coming down as the oil warms up.
When the oil temperature is 80 degrees, the minimum pressure should be 2 bar at 2000 revs.
