I’m curious what oil pressure you guys are seeing in your cars?  Mine is always bouncing up against the red area of the gauge.  Was told it’s fine, but wanted to hear what others are seeing.  I honestly never noticed on the GT3 but was told it runs the same which would make sense.

Can you report the pressure (in Bar or PSI at what temp and rpm)?  Probably fine - I know the scale is skewed toward the Red zone.  There is a pressure relief valve that prevents over-pressure.  Oil pressure problems are generally because the pressure is too low.  Also keep in mind that pressure decreases with increasing temp and increases with increasing RPM...

Running 60-65psi at low RPMs ~2200 at 194oF oil temp.  At higher RPMs I've seen over 70psi.  After already having a min oil warning with 700 miles on the car I was concerned something was going on.  Was more worried about having a low oil pressure problem when the low oil warning popped up.  So checked the gauge and that's when it seemed skewed to the high side as you mention.  Tech said everything sounded normal, just wanted some additional data.

High 60's is pretty normal.  When over 70psi, was it barely over 70 or way over?  If barely, that's fine.  You never had a low oil pressure warning - just a warning to add more oil, right?  Sounds ok to me...
