Is this normal oil/coolant temp after driving hard

Idk If I broke something driving too hard? 1.7 bar oil pressure seems to low. Normally its at 2.2-2.5. I know oil thins out due to heat, is this why im getting low oil pressure? and why is my idle at 500 rpm its not normally like this only after hard driving. I checked my oil like 300 miles before and added a full quart of full synthetic. I know it burns oil. Thanks for the help

Your oil press is fine. If your engine is using oil you need to find the culprit. Are spark plugs fouling? Any oil in the intake? Do you have a Catch Can? FWIW my engines idle will drop to 500 in gear (D) when I'm at a stoplight.

Yeah that's about normal after a couple wot pulls. The oil temp is up there but I don't think it's stupid high. And I'm not sure what the deal is on the bar reference for the oil pressure is about but if ariZona28 says it's fine I would take his word for it.
