Default Gauge Help

Hi,

New to posting so please let me know if this is the wrong place.

I have an 06 Sti and the middle gauge (Picture below) always seems to be sat at around .6 and .8.

I am not actually sure what that gauge is for other than it says pressure, but some days it seems to sit a little lower and the engine feels a bit more responsive. Not sure if this is just a coincidence. If anyone knows what that one measures and if I am just being a bit crazy with it sitting high any help would be great!

Thanks!

Well, the measuring unit is in Mega Pascals (i.e. 1 x 10^6 Pa).

So 0.6 MPa = 6 bar... Which leads me to believe it's oil pressure.

Does it IDLE at around 0.2-0.3 on a warmed up engine?
