"Under Pressure!"

Hi there.
My pressure originalsensor was shot, and got me a pressure gauge with
sender.Now there is one more bluey and pointing thingy in my dash
Question: What pressure should I read? I noticed, when I turn on the
car and idle it, I read about 3 bar of pressure. I't goes up a little
when I rev it. After the engine is warm, I got 1 bar at idle. Is this
normal? I dont know if is good or bad, sould I notice a little loss of
pressure when the engine is warm? Temperature is normal, and got no
visible loss of power. When I rev it, the pressure goes up, but if I
idle it after engine is a max top temp of 95ºC, I got 1 bar of
pressure. With the original light, we only have "light" or "no light"
pressure status. I love the control that gauges add to my car, but I
must be able to know what is the normal range I should read on them so
I can apreciate them

Help!

Thanks.
MM

bar is a pressure unit..:

Yes, I got that, sorta.
Just posted the link in case..

1 Bar (Bar-ometer, bar-o-metric) is 14.7 psi.
Normal atmospheric pressure.

Your readings sound very good.

There can be a very big difference in pressure
between cold and hot oil as the oil gets "thinner"
(less viscous).

As a minimum figure, pressure at road speeds when
hot should be not less than approximately 2 Bar.

Yap, that is about it. I espected pressure to go down as oil warmed
up. But I didn't had a clue about what values should it
flactuate.Thanks!
