I have a 2006 c2 that has fresh oil change with filter, Mobil 1 0/40# and I get 5 bar oil pressure after warm up still get 5 bar at 4000 rpm and at idle get 2+bar. I I think it is supposed to be 3.5 bar at 3000 rpm. Where should I look to correct the problem? gauge or sensor or both?

3.5 bar at 3000 RPM seems low to me. I am not aware of a spec for oil pressure at 3000 RPM. If it was low I'd recommend checking the oil pressure relief valve but your values seem to be about normal.

The only certain way to confirm oil pressure is with a good mechanical gauge . Your pressure seems normal to me but if it is way off the first suspect is usually the sending unit
