What weight oil are you using? Ive heard of people complaining of a low pressure condition but high?

I'd put money on it being a bad oil pressure sending unit

What weight oil do you run? Did this just start happening randomly?

Sounds like the stepper motor in the gauge is bad.

Isn't the oil pressure supposed to go up as you rev the engine or mash the gas? I am new here guys, just thinking. I don't think it should peg though right? Also, do you have too much oil in it?

Having a similar issue with the oil needle, a few weeks back it shot up and maxed out and now everytime i turn my truck on the needle stays stuck on high. Any thoughts?
