Just fitted an oil pressure gauge and its reading 6bar so naturally iv **** my self :O

Not sure what it should read, with a bit of research it appears it should be about 1.5 when warm, what should it be when cold?

I thought 1bar per 1000 rpm was normal. It's always going to be much higher when cold too..

6 bar is fine on start up from cold. My car hits 6 bar on cold temps and goes down to 2 bar when fully warm at idle and it'll graudually rise up again with the rpm.
