On my way to work this morning as I got on the freeway I noticed that my oil PRESSURE was at 120 psi. I pulled over to the side, at ilde it was at 60. I shut the engine off and the gage needle indicated 0, I then turned ignition on without starting and it was showing 60 psi.

Do I have a bad sensor or is there a way to re-calibrate the gage? I tried a search but I'm doing this on my cellphone and won't have internet access until I get back home this evening. Anybody have an answer?
Thanks...

 

It's probably a bad gauge...seen that many times before. Replacing the sensor will not fix the problem....its the gauge.

 

I had the exact same problem. Bad sending unit.

 

sounds like your car had a heart attack. i would recommend an EKG...

 

Where is the oil sensor located?

 

this happened to me but it was a bad oil press. sending unit. you might want to check that out.

 

What is 'standard' oil pressure supposed to be? I actually have no idea.. Any difference between NA and FI?

 

+1 Same with me..

 

Mine is about 30 at idle and around 60 at 70 mph flat road, this is when fully warmed up, full fresh oil Mobil 1 0W40.

 

I hope it's just the sending unit, the dealer charged me $99.00 for a new one, I wonder if I got one for a VQ Altima or truck would it work, I know it would be way cheaper.

 

by the oil filter,2 wire plug

 

It was the sending unit, a little bit of a pain to change due to cooling water for turbo's.

 

Thanks man appreciate it..
