What kind of oil are you running and at what viscocity? that makes a big difference.
My owner's manual for a 1980 SC states: " with the engine at operating temperature (194 degrees f, 90 celcius) and an engine speed of 5000 rpm the oil pressure should be about 4.5 bar.......a drop in oil pressure at higher temperatures is normal. At idle speed, with the engine oil hot, it is permissible for the green control light to light up-this does not indicate any loss of engine performance. "
Thicker oils will show higher oil temperatures, thin synthetic oil will show lower pressures in most cases.
