om606 normal oil pressure
If you’re really having trouble with hot oil pressure and don’t want cold pressure to skyrocket, try liqui-moly 10w-60 for the BMW M-cars. Porsche has actually made their own aircooled-oil line and it is a 10w-60 synthetic as well. Expensive stuff to change out often though...

Rule of thumb is 1 bar per 1000rpm (idle is only 650) so as long you’ve got 1bar or close to at idle, you’re “within spec”. My go-to oil of choice is 15w-50 Mobil 1 because its cheap, it’s synthetic, and because of the extra zinc and phosphorus for flat tappet cam wear. It’s not a diesel oil per-say but with the soot loading from the big pump, it gets changed regularly. My oil cooler was leaking and bypassed for the time being so even with the extra heat I always see 1.5bar idling hot. 15w-50 is what I use in the aircooled porsche as well with good results. The aircooled nut jobs will pay out the ass for these exotic oils when there’s plenty good stuff out there.
