Not sure if I have a problem with my car

Basically the oil pressure seems quite high when cold at tick over, when the engines upto temp it normally sits around 2 instead of the indicated 6 (kg/cm2) you see below.. which goes upto 8 with the help of my foot when cold

I know low oil pressure is bad, suppose high pressure is too??, the car runs ok no smoke or anything, a had an Astra GTE 16V & i know it had an oil breather on the cam cover that would block, meant to be common problem, so do scoobys have a similar prob??

Worried something is wrong witth oil pump or something more £££££!!!

here are the piccys, can anyone compare with a cold scooby, drove about 1/2 mile then took pics.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer



BTW car is a 96 STi2 555

yahtzee

high oil pressure when cold cos its coldk when warmed up lower pressure if it was me dont boot it when its cold wait for it to warm up can be a while too
ive got a legacy turbo oil pressure cold is about 6 bar and fully warm (10 20mins) around 1.5 - 2 bar hope that helps abit

Will,

Seem to have noticed it over the past week or so.... suppose it's been nippy too.

I'll warm the beast up a touch more, just wanted to check

Thanks again
