I have a 2006 3.0 Di and I will fit an oils pressure gauge, but need input on what is the likely high level I will find. I can get Auber p205g sensors from 75psi to 175 psi.
I will have a spare display on my Auber gauges, so install should be simple

I do have the issue of intermittent oil light, but found this fix on the forum.

Oil light comes on.

I have not done the work--I will try for the "Nissan service bulletin" fix first.

If anyone cares, the following come from my workshop manual:
Idle speed 147 kPa 21.3 psi
2,000 rpm 539 kPa 78.1 psi
4,000 rpm 736 kPa 106.72 psi
So if you plan on installing an oil pressure gauge, make sure it will handle > 100 psi
