...but it's absolute minimum. My 3A iddling @ 1-1,1k [MAF potentiometr gone as usual] had something about 2 bar and 5k about 1,8 when fully warmed up. With worned out main bearings @ iddle were 1 bar.

What shows voltmeter in that moment?
If there would be not enough oil in engine [and that's about 1 liter below minimum!], pressure would fluctuate
