Common problem. Please search oil pressure sending unit or oil pressure sensor.

Sounds about right, i would look into a oil cooler

When you say 135 do you mean mph or kph?
What mods done to the car? Whwn was your last oil change? Is the oil you added the same as the oil that is in the car? I would doubt its the stock pressure sending unit. Usually when they go bad people repost seeing it either pegged at max pressure or at zero. Its possible that you are heating the oil enough to cause the drop in pressure. As you slow your speed and lower the revs the oil recovers a bit and you see the pressure climb back to normal. I would recommend an oil change and pour some of the used oil through a coffee filter and look for flakes of copper (bearing material). If the oil is clean you should be OK. |
