Faulty oil pressure gauge?

[ABN45]

So i have no check engine lights on and the oil pressure seems fine. With regular drive it's under half, but when I get on the gas it goes past half. All seems fine while driving. Doesn't bog down.

first pic is under half with regular driving, 2nd is getting on the gas.


Could it be a faulty gauge?

looks normal. when the engine is cold I get 40 psi while driving...once warm I get around 35 psi just cruising at slow speeds.. when accelerating it does suppose to increase according to the rpm


Also check your oil level make sure its good. There is also a pickup tube o-ring that can leak and cause the engine to have a hard time sucking oil thru the pickup tube. but usually when this happen youll get really low oil pressure and the oil pressure increases as the engine warms up

What gives you the impression that the gauge is faulty? That's normal behavior and the values are fine. You could use a scanner and view the oil pressure in live data to compare it to the gauge.

Yea, there are some members here that would be glad to have that oil pressure reading on the same year truck.
