Ahoy!

That sounds like perfect oil pressure.

Low oil pressure? Thats my 380SE ? ...... when at hot idle (in parking gear) , it is at the " .3 " bar, but when in drive (idling) when hot, it is pegged at " 0 ". Yes, " 0 ". When I hear that the "MB minimum is .3 bar", I am assuming that is when in gear? By the time it gets back to about 1800 rpms, it is back at " 3 ".... actually pegged past "3 ". I guess I should mention that my car has 268K however.

Some cars have low oil pressure from the factory. Some of the newer Toyota trucks are supposed to read extremely low on the guage at hot idle. I guess it varies from car to car. I have heard that on the first line is normal on those.
