About 1 bar at idle and 2.8 bar at 2000 RPM, normal temperature. These are minimun values. The pressure relief valve will open at 4 bar, so you won't see over 4 bar at normal operating temperature.

Actually the Ford workshop manual says 1 bar at 900 rpm, aprox. idle. And it's also at 10w-30, so if you are using a higher viscosity like 50, it's should be a little higher.
