high oil psi at idle

Every OPG thread shows the same general theme: people's gauges are all over the place. It's been recommended before that as long as your gauge keeps the same trend day after day, then you're fine. Mine personally idles warm at ~15psi and climbs with increasing rpm. I don't care too much about numerical values, but instead watch to make sure that it responds the same way every day.

Agreed.... having the 1.6 sender and gauge swapped into my M1 1.8... it's always pegged the gauge when cold.... when warm @ idle it's a little above the first mark. And at highway cruise (35/4k) it will be a needle over the second mark.
I've just learned that it's important where it is on the scale... not the numbers. <G> When it starts acting weird, it's time for the oil change. <G>
Dave,
