What kind of oil pressure should the car be when once warmed up, cruising at 70mph? I get good pressure from cold maybe 5bar, then drops to 3..

Hard to write accuratley, just seems to be little low sometimes.. What should the gauge read when idling?

when warm and idling, could be lower than or around 1 bar.

That's about right pressures at 70mph. Idling is usually below 1 bar.
