One bar oil pressure per 1,000 rpm is really good. I'd not worry about it. Porsche's recommendations for oil have varied over the years, lately tending to be a light low figure for a multi-grade, probably for better mileage. Racers favor heavier upper ends, as their engines spend all their time at the high end of the temperature scale.

The 3.2s are notorious for valve stem wear, leading to excess oil consumption. So the advice about watching consumption fairly carefully is good. It serves as a diagnostic for the health of the guides, but mainly prevents you from running the oil down too low.
