You have some other wackiness going on. Your oil pressure is low (not horrible for fully warm at idle) and your oil level is very high. What oil are you running and was the engine recently rebuilt?

Ignore the oil level gauge! It fluctuates from full to empty at about any given time. I use the dipstick to check level. I'm not going to fight with the tank sending unit because from what I've read they are a known flaky part and again I check with the dipstick.
As for pressure, from what I've read that's completely normal for a 3.2 at idle. 800 to 900 rpm idle corresponds to about 1 bar.

If I'm taking the time to remove it and check the part number, I'm going to order a replacement and put it in, that way I've got a known good sending unit. I don't think I'll be able to see the number without removal.. right??
