The oil pump is overbilt.... they just did not make a gauge which will show how high it usually runs... if it gets under one bar then one should worry. If it changes pressure FAST.. one should consider the possibility that the screw on oil pressure valve on the back of some of our engines has fallen off.... or given way... before assuming the oil pump is toast..
There are several updates on that oil pressure valve ( suggested rating ,perhaps design )... be sure to check for the latest recommendations before replacing...
