High oil pressure

[TheLostProphet]

Just popped out in the Monaro and the oil pressure gauge sat just under 5 with no fluctuation. Possible cause of this?

common fault, sensor needs changing, easy IF you do not have an S/C

dose it return to zero when engine is off?

This must be the only time I am glad not to have a s/c.

Yeah it returns to zero when off and quite high up even when even the ignition is switched on.

Will give them a call tomorrow. Thats good that its not too expensive. Must be about the only things that isn't with these cars. Can do with it being an easy fix as I am currently rocking this unusual wheel and colour combo

Thanks will be useful info to pass on to a mechanic as there is no way I could do the spannering myself.

The car is pretty much standard so should be in the normal place. Well I hope so.

Ordered from the fish today and should arrive tomorrow. Under £54 as well

Thanks for the help everyone.
