After warmup, engine RPM should never fall below 2.0 bars. Check if oil pressure decreases at the same time engine temperature increases. Engine overheating will cause any oil to get thinner and lose viscosity. This results in lowered oil pressure even when the oil LEVEL is normal. I that is the case, check for cause of overheating. older and/or abused engines may overheat because of power loss due to poor compression and/or other reasons.
