most likely your sending unit gone bad.

when you start the car it will peg until the car warms up. if it stays at the right the oil sending unit sensor has gone bad. there are several threads about it. use search.

here is a link to all of them

Also, if you are revving way up, the oil meter will point way up. Hadn't done that on my other few cars, but they had dummy gauges.

+1 on the warm-up

you only have a problem if it does it at normal temps
