There's really nothing to worry about regarding low oil pressure if it idles hot at .5 bar or greater.

Cummins regulates their oil pressure at 15PSI claiming that excessive oil pressure does nothing except wastes fuel.

The main thing with these engines is that it pegs or close to it when you're at speed.

Don't worry about it, keep changing the oil frequently, and sleep well.

Have a great day,
