My oil pressure in BARS reads between 1 and 2 bars when hot and stationary, and under way it only goes to 2-3 bars. I am getting oil light at high speed uphills? MY other CQ reads 4-5 (almost pegged) while moving. Is my first one that reads 2-3 MAX. wrong?? If I had low oil pressure you would think the light would come on when stopped versus going uphills underway.

At warm idle, mine only reads 1 bar or so. Once past somewhere around 3000rpm, the pressure is ~4bar. On the highway, its usually at 5bar. Gauge/Alarm senders working properly? Is your level ok? Car using any oil? Really leaky gasket somewhere (oil pan)? May want to post this to the 20v list as well...In the mean time, I wouldn't drive the car until you can get it diagnosed.
