On my 300SE, the oil pressure is around '1' when at a hot idle and immediatly goes up to 3 when starting off. It does decrease when coming to a stop but settles back to 1. As long as the oil pressure is high when driving, I wouldn't really worry about it.

Keep an eye on the passenger side at the rear of the engine for oil leaks. This could either be the valve cover gasket or the head gasket. My head gasket is leaking. I need to attend to the.

My 220S has a knock and low oil pressure even when driving. I must attend to this as well.
