I would say so. I would not worry about "2" at idle. Especially considering that my car is at "0", yes ZERO, when it is at hot idle (above 100°C) when in drive.
When in park at hot idle, it is around "1". It is back up to "3" when I accelerate, but not until 1800 RPMS. My owners manual says that ".3" is OK at hot idle. My car is just a old work car though, with 266K. I do not care... I will drive it until it stops. Still does not use (or leak) any oil between oil changes. I am amazed. Perhaps the oil sender is on the fritz.
