100 psi + oil pressure.........
just put in my oil pressure gauge, it's reading 100+ psi.
WTF? It bounces around between 75-100 psi then sits past the 100 mark. AT IDLE. Cold and warmed up.
Little help.

Re:100 psi + oil pressure.........
mine does the same damn thing. except, when idle and warmed up it's steady @ 20psi or so. as soon as i step on the gas it goes up a lil then shoots to 100psi. I use castrol syntec 10w30. I find that it works 100% perfect right after the oil change. then, on the drive home it slowly goes back to the bouncy stage. 1 week later its back how it was.
engine is d16a6

Re:100 psi + oil pressure.........
What motor/car is this?
When i built my 4g64 for my Talon I didnt put squirters back on it and blocked off my balance shaft oil passages. I get 80+ PSI when the ------- thing is idling HOT... 100+ (off the scale) when its cold... lol. I have ported my oil pump housing big time and still no better really.
Something I've come to live with, but I know one day it'll bite me in the ***. Luckily not making my t3/04e smoke that I can see yet.

Re:100 psi + oil pressure.........
is the sender hooked up right?. When i first installed mine it bounced and the needle would be buried past 100. I found out that if you ground the sender it gets accurate reading and no interferance from other things. I just sanded some of the coating off the sender so it is bare metal and solder a wire to the sender canister and give it a good ground. I found out how to do this on some dsm site. it worked for me.

Re:100 psi + oil pressure.........
yours was bouncing all over the place too? hrmm..
well.. frrom what i remember, my oil psi would be fine at idle. but when i rev or drive it would bounce around (possibly grounding to the IM). maybe I should try that....
