Why would you think this??????

Do you have a data logger because it takes hundreds of readings every second to confirm what your oil pressure actually is???

Mechanical oil pressure gauges use an orifice (jet) to dampen the gauge response and can lead to undiagnosed low oil pressure.

4 liters (4.2 quarts) might not be enough oil if you are using a 1 quart oil filter....

Do you run 4 liters of oil all of the time?????

Why not baffle the pan and add another liter or 2???

It could starve on acceleration or de-acceleration....

Oil is cheap insurance...

Just sayin'
