As long as the oil is remaining inside the motor & circulating ok ......... can you have too HIGH oil pressure?
On my new gauge I get a higher pressure whilst the oil is still cold as I would expect. The gauge reads up to 80psi & the reading goes right to the top of the gauge.
Once hot it will sit at around 60psi with a few revs, dropping to around 20 psi at idle. Sender unit is taken from the same position as the factory sender unit (using a T piece).
I suspect this is normal & good, but would be nice to have this confirmed. Oil is Penrite 20/60 semi synthetic.
