Thats plenty of oil pressure, what matters is when it comes up. The pistons as you know are oil cooled and when the turbo starts spooling they need 3bar by 3k or your going to have problems.

A lot of heavy equipment will idle close to zero on hot days without issue, you don't really need any pressure at hot idle. As long as its around or over 1 bar I wouldn't give it a second thought.
