Might not be accurate for an XE but id say on tickover oil pressure should be pretty high maybe 6-8 bar when cold and about 4bar when warmed up.
As a say tho im not 100% sure.Im just going by previous cars.

I think it would be somewhere in the region of 95-100 degrees C, perhaps i'm wrong though?! 10w40 i would think would be best at that range
