My Vit has just started showing me an oil pressure of up to 100psi, but for the most it sits on 60psi.. is this too high ?

My sender may be faulty - or the pressure relief is stuck... or is it normal ?????

Anyone got any ideas?

cant think of a situation for too high an oil pressure being bad, other than load on the pump

i think my oil pressure sender may be rooted .... it's showing 18psi when then engine is off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could also be your gauge....

high oil pessure isnt a good thing

High oil pressure can be just as terminal as low oil pressure. If you obstruct an oil passage it can cause the pressure to rise as the flow is reduced. Low oil flow is bad news. Is the oil pressure you are looking at with the oil at normal opperating temp, or cold. Cold oil by its nature is thicker and holds higher pressure. Oil pressure readings should be given with the oil up to normal temp. Different viscosity oils will provide different pressures at idle.
