My op, when cold is at 4.5 ish. I have a standard thermostat, U.S. car. Once it's warm it looks just like the picture. When it's really hot and I've been running it hard, it will get down to about 2 when at idle. Thinner oils also can make a difference. That car isn't really pushing a 50wt oil, it would be pushing the thinner side of the oil when warm. I don't see anything wrong with the numbers I see with this car.

On my rebuilt engine, I see 4 bar at idle at full operating temperature with Motul 300 V 15w50. I only see a low 3 bar at idle in hot traffic hams when my A/C compressor (A big Sanden, not the stock Nippodenso) works. Before the rebuild, the pressure was 0.5-1 bar lower with the same oil.
My '91 951 with 67K miles shows a full 5 bar at start up and has a similar pressure at idle to this Japanese car when it reaches operating temperature. Oil is Mobil1 5W-50 full synthetic. YMMV

If it were a JP spec car then it would likely have option code 193 'Version for Japan'.

she`s usually topless and would kill me for posting
... but good reason to buy with sunroof though .. Btw I have seen the EX sign on some cars before and I know I have heard what it stands for but I can`t remember.
If it is Japan import the it should have option M193 ..
I know the 944 Lux is a brit marketing thing , maybe the EX is the same
