1.1 to 2 bar. Anything less than 1 will trip the low oil pressure warning

Not true, the buzzer is on a 0.3bar transducer. My CQ would have around 0.8bar at idle (warm/hot).

Default Is it normal to be pegged at 5 bar on a 20v?
I had no concept of oil pressure until I bought the coupe as it's not a normal gauge on newer cars.

It drops down to about 3 bar at idle (IIRC), anything unusual about that?
