It doesnt warm up fast enough as oil needs to be at 80 to be effective and if it doesnt get there it doesnt even start to burn off its own contaminants. At a guess I'd say then 80-100 is fine under normal conditions.
At full boost when warm, oil pressure reaches about 2bar.
But then Im not normally watching gauges at full boost. More hanging on

At least it is the GTi anyway.Its not the GTi6 has a 6 bar spring pretty much all the others (including DW10 and XUD9) have 5 bar springs but this is peak pressure not some sort of operating pressure, the details that someone posted off autodata are what you want to check yourself against.
The XUD11 and XUD13 (2.5 lump) both run the 6bar spring.
