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.
