ive got an el fairmont with exhaust exractors and a k&n, yesterday i stupidly tried to take a vz ss ute at the lights and the oil pressure light came on, since then its been around the 6 mark when driving and redlining at idle, some times even peaks of the chart. anyone got some ideas???
thanks

those guages are known to be on the wrong side of being correct. notie the car drivign much different?

dont rely on the factory guage, its only good for impressing your mates with its movement lol

if your worried, hook up a good quality one

I got the same problem with my fairlane and I've been s**t myself lately. Cruizing at around 60km/h and the guage slowly climbs beyond its limits. Give it a short stab of the throttle then the guage drops to about halfay. Then when i start to cruize it starts to rise.

What is it supposed to do as the oil pressure guage in my brothers VL turbo rises with the revs then gets to a certtain point and stays there. If he cruizes the car it stays put.

its more than likely a loose/dirty connection on the oil pressure sender connection - heaps of fun to get to as well - on an ef its just higher and forward of the coil pack and ppl love to knock them when replacing ignition leads - on an el they're behind the dizzy so thats even more fun to get to - if you take them off and leave them hanging oil pressure goes off the chart
