Correct answer
Very hot.
Very hot oil loses viscosity and can favour lower pressure. Insufficient pressure alone does not establish that temperature: low oil level, leaks or faults can also cause it. If a low-pressure warning appears, stop safely and follow the manufacturer’s instructions; do not continue assuming heat makes it normal.
