thats my point. drive it to keep oil pressure less than 4bar.
by the time the oil stops going above 4bar the tank cant start filling back up. for what i have seen that 180. i am always wondered where all that oil is if its not in the oil tank.
if the pressure still hits the bypass then the oil is not up to temp. no guessing or speculating about that

If I used 4 bar (~60psi) as a limit, I could never drive my car above 3000 rpm even when fully warmed up.
From the '72 owner's manual.

That said I will get my car up to at least 140 deg before going much above 4k rpm.
