1 bar oil pressure at idle is fine. What is the pressure at 3000 rpm? 4000 rpm? 2000 rpm?

My memory is not what is used to be, but I recall 1 bar/1000 rpm oil pressure

So at 3000 rpm you should see 3 bar or about 45 psi

It not uncommon to see 0 presseure indicated on the gauge at idle when the engine is hot....the gauges don't always read accurately on the low end..

what is the difference between the mechanical gauge and electrical gauge through the rpm range?
