Oil Pressure?

[GHO57]

hello everyone, i have a series 2 r33 97model type M skyline, and lately ive noticed my oil pressure, sometimes on idle its at 2 or 2.1....and when ive been going hard out in 3rd n 4th gear it'll go to around 6 which it usually does it higher revs, but after ive gone hard out in 3rd and 4th gear sometimes it wont go past 4.2?.....does anyone know wtf is going on?or is it normal for it to stay the same for a while after its hot or something?..i have no clue..any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks

also my car only has a front mount, exhuast and pod..

fully synthetic oil was used when i changed engine oil..

this also only started after my oil service..using motul..forgot which oil specifically tho..should this be anything to worry about?..it never happens if i thrash it on the street or anything, just after 3rd n 4th reving out after a while it wont go past 4.2bar..thanks.

im no expert but as the car does warm up the car become less thick therefor producing less pressure through the system... maybe this its whats happening.

i have a series 1 r33 and yeah mine used to do that....but since i have had my oil changed to whatever it was recommended by the garage the oil pressure sits around the 2.5-3 when its nice and warm and when i give it a bit then it creeps up but nothing over 5.5.....so i will try to find out what oil they put in my car and let you know......just enquire from an import specialist garage as to what type of oil to use on what weather.....thick for summer and thin for winter?
