Latest report then.
Tonight I checked my pressure with an external oil pressure gauge. I´m happy to see that the readings are better than with the gauge in the car. Also tried another oil pressure sensor and it too showed better results.

The new readings:
Cold, idle: >6 bar
Warm, idle: 1,5-2 bar
Warm 2000 giri: 3 bar
Warm 3000 giri: 4,5-5 bar

So, I should be safe, right? The other sender unit i tried also showed higer pressure than the one I had.

Some pointless pics, just for the sake of it... ;-)
1. The first is showing the pressure at idle with warm engine. Showing 2 bar where the old one showed 0.
2. The next is Warm @ idle, external gauge. (1,5-2 bar)
3. Last is external gauge, cold @ idle. (over 6 bar)
