It would seem reasonable that the cooler and pipework (if its like mine there is a fair length of hose) will increase pressure drop around the system so you measure a lower pressure at the oil galleries. This will be more noticeable at higher flows (with revs). 6 bar with revs and 3 bar idle (presume hot) is pretty good pressure anyway.
