I'm not sure what the units are on the metric (Non-U.S.) Jeeps are, but 40 psi is the equivalent of 3 on your gauge. The proper pressure will read between the first mark and 3rd mark.

The reading in the picture is normal oil pressure at idle. When the engine is under load it is normal to read around the 3rd mark.

^^^ Yep.
Your gauge is in bar values. 1 bar = 14.5 psi 3 bar = 43.5 5.4 bar = 78.3 psi
