Oil Pressure gauge query

[TJW964]

Hi all,
Took a test drive in a great looking 996T 53 plate yesterday. Wondered if oil gauge is reading ok.

On start up it was on 4 or more on 5.
Dropped to 4 as it warmed up.
Took it for a drive and it seemed to stay high for most of it.
At end of drive, maybe 20 miles I cruised along, off the throttle, in a 30 limit and I saw it dip to high 3's.

Then went back up to 4's and 5.

I spoke to the OPC that it had been ought from and serviced it and they said it was a nice clean car and well looked after. It has a fsh and just had a full seervice, including oil, so just checking all is as it should be.

Thanks,
Trevor

Sounds pretty normal to me. I would expect hot tickover to be about 1.5 bar, rising to about 4 bar at 3500-4000rpm.
