I've looked around and I think oil pressure sender might be bad. I wanted to ask to see what you all think. I drove around today and oil pressure was good. Tonight when I got in my car to drive home I noticed the oil pressure sitting around 110 or so, its not all the way pegged out. I checked my oil and it is normal and everything sounds and feels okay. It seems like the oil pressure does rise a little with RPM too. I'm not sure if it is the sending unit. What do you think?

Thanks in advance.

Definitely the sender. My started reading high too, and eventually pegged at 120. I just got a new one in this weekend and it reads 60 psi at idle again.

Yep, I just fixed this. Reading way too high and LEAKING OIL! The sender starts leaking and messes up the reading. Fix two problems with one repair - and it's cheap and easy!

Sorry to intrude, but what should the "normal" pressure be? I assume it would change a bit with different oil weights, and maybe with temperature too, but i was curious.

I'm loosing a little bit of oil somewhere that I can't find, and depending on whether or not my pressure is high, maybe I found out why.

Normal is subjective to your car. What pressures are you reading? I see about 60 PSI cold idle, 45 PSI hot, 65-70 PSI driving. This is my aeroforce's numerical reading, not my stock gauge.
