Sudden shift of oil pressure from 4.5 bar to less then 2 bar over 2.5 months 200 1990

"A '90 240 doesn't come with an oil pressure gauge, and its stock warning switch is set at 0.5 bar (7 psig) so your added gauge sender is always a suspect tracking over long term, especially as to the 4.5 bar history"

In other words, check against a known good mechanical pressure gauge before jumping into the work needed to pull the oil pan. Gauge sender and gauge, whether you got it new or used may have had a fault.
