Default Low oil pressure because of sending unit?
Hey guys I just changed my oil like I always do and replaced my oil pressure sending unit because it was always reading 120+ but now it's reading reaaaaally low when warmed up. Like at around 5-10 psi with the AC on when before it would read right around 25psi. Could I not have screwed it in all the way? Or is it a faulty unit? Thanks in advance

Its a new unit i believe its reading correct. I believe new oil reads low so give it some time to break in.

It's still reading ridiculously low. Just right above 0 with the AC on. I screwed the sensor in more and that didn't change anything so now I have no idea. Could it be because I used a different oil filter? I normally use the K&N one but I switched to Mobil 1 M1-108
