Is my oil pressure ok? (pics)



  Clio 172
Here is a pic of my oil pressure at idle (900 rpm) when warm:

Here is a pic of my oil pressure at 3000 revs when warm:

Is this ok? I was told it is a while back but I cant help see peoples vids with really high oil pressure! The pressure is fine when cold but then drops and I want to know if it should drop to what you see in the pics.

Thanks

Should be 1 bar at 1000rpm, and rise to about 3 bar at 3500rpm. Mine seemed to achieve this even when hot, and more when the oil had just been changed for some reason.

**not sure how accurate the guages are though. Does yours rise at all when you get above 3.5k rpm?
 
Looks pretty much the same sort of oil pressure as mine.

2 bar @ 3,000 revs when warm.
3.5 bar @ start up when cold.
A shade over 0.5 bar when idling warm.
