Factory manual says 4 bar at 5000 rpm and at least 0.5 bar at idle. I like to see at least 1 bar at idle, but 1.5 bar is typical. If the oil pressure relief valve is working correctly, you'll never see much more than 4 bar once the oil is up to operating temp...maybe 4.5 bar at redline. It's entirely rpm dependent, but you'll typically see the oil pressure relief valve start regulating to 4 bar around 4000 rpm.
