My fairlane's oil pressure gauge was in the red (high) for about 30,000KMs (and 3 oil changes) which i took as a faulty gauge or sender. I changed the oil yesterday (same oil as before) and now it seems to stay at around 2/3rds.
I dunno. I still have a suspicion that the sender is dickey.

ok my olds gave me an au1 falcon forte, its done 400,000k and still runs sweet as. anyway i am upgrading everything slowly and i got an au1 fairmont dash and put it in with a new oil sensor. its always reads about 2 3rds of the was when driving and when its in idle its at about 1/4. it is normal for oil pressure to change when car is moving and not moving as you are doing less/ more revs
