I'm getting a bit worried about oil pressure.

I have a prosport electronic oil pressure gauge mounted on a sandwich plate.
With 10w60 oil (pretty think, higher pressures in general) at 80C, I only see 1.4bar on idle (650rpm). However at 1500rpm, pressure rises at 3bar then at 3000rpm it's at 5bar etc. I'm only worried about the low pressure at low rpm's even with a thick oil like 10w60...

Oil pump on its way out? Oil relief valve?

Cheers
