Porsche is great at taking care of their costumers, your car is CPO so I wouldn't worry. Also, while you looking down there, keep your eye on your water temperature. I just had my thermostat replaced with new design thermostat and Porsche is sending me a $400 voucher (for my troubles) to use on my next service

That is completely normal oil pressure and only slightly over 5 bar which Porsche’s have been running for years now, even in a regular Carrera motor. Nothing to worry about.
Shoot, a GT350 Mustang runs 100psi at full throttle and I’m actually surprised the Porsche isn’t a bit higher than 5 bar given the RPM that they turn. I’ve always had engine builders tell me a general rule of thumb is 10psi for every 1000rpm the motor will be turning so an 8000rpm motor should generate ~80psi of max pressure.
