I freak when my oil pressure does that. The 5cyls are the most particular but my S8 and V8 do it to lesser levels.
I find the Mann filters on ebay for pretty reasonable prices and typically get 5 at a time.
These aren't for 20v but he should be able to provide them:

Is 1.5bar acceptable - not a crisis but something to correct...
Have a great one!
Cheers,
Bryan
