Oil pressure a lil high?

[Supreme Cutlass]

Is that a bit high, and how high is too high? that's at freeway speeds, it falls down to about half at idle

[Psych0matt]

mine is always pegged I also have the wrong sensor in it, which I've been meaning to switch...

[Brian P]

engine's still under operating temp. For that gauge that is normal.

[Nick1234]

colder weather affects it as well.

lol the only time mine gets that good is when i am at almost wot . usually it runs around half

exactly. colder oil = thicker oil = higher oil pressure.

 

besides, we all know how accurate our gauges are.

[Supreme Cutlass]

well, it's 80 degrees down here and the sender is new...

When cold, my 3.1 has the oil pressure pegged, cold weather or not. Once it heats up, the pressure drops to between zero and the first hash mark on idle.

Same.

Don't worry about it being pegged, worry about it being on the opposite end of the gauge.

mine runs between 40 and pegged at operation temp so its all good but i use mobil one oil

The oil senders in these cars suck If you are really that worried about it go aftermarket.
