Hey everyone!
I replaced my oil pressure sender for the gauge yesterday and I'm a little concerned. I read that to tighten it you shouldn't go very far, maybe a quarter to a half a turn. So I did that, and it's not leaking. But my oil pressure gauge started reading differently and I don't know whether to trust the gauge or not. Usually when I cold start it it sits at the bar after 55psi and before 110psi. Now, after replacing the sender, when it idles it's about the same, but when I drive it, it's just a hair away from the full 110psi. If I drive really slowly it reads lower. Once the engine warms up, it's fine. But It still reads a little higher than it did before. Is this normal, or is it something wrong?
