Oil Pressure

Hi all, my first post here so please go easy (I also searched to see if this was discussed before and couldnt see anything)

I recently bought a 2015 Panamera and the digital oil pressure gauge is showing what looks like an abnormally high oil pressure.
At 2000 revs its showing around 3 bars and at less than 3000 revs it showing up to 3.6 bars. I havent seen it show more than that

The manual gives lower numbers than that and even though the digital guage doesnt show red, it looks very close to the red high side of the measurement on the right.
Oil level is 75% full. Is this normal? (sitting with my fingers crossed that someone doesnt come back and say that the engine is about to explode)

Thanks

Need to know oil temperature to give reasonable advice. Let us know what oil temp was (even just knowing the car had been driven for several miles before the oil pressure reading is good enough - it would be close to running temp)

For cold oil those readings don't sound bad at all.

For a warm engine, I get about 2.1 bars at 1800 rpm going down the highway.

Regards,
