What oil is in it ? also were you giving it some beans, as my oil pressure does drop a bit more at tickover when its been driven hard, altho' I'm sure I've read somewhere that above 2 bar is ok

Anything above 1.5 - 2.0 Bar is fine at idle, it hugely depends on oil grade used & when it was last changed.

Check you are ticking over at the right RPM, my oil pressure oscillates wildly if tickover is slow about 750 rpm
