I got home from school the other day. My car was fine. 1 hour later, i left for work and noticed my oil pressure gague was opposite where it should be. I checked my oil level and it was fine. When i turn off my engine it stays up where it is and when i start it again it moves but stays up there.
I was worrying but i had no choice but to drive it. its been fine but im not sure if its a sensor or the gague or what?
Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

THanks alot,
Chris.

Engine off:


Engine on:

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. sorry its kinda funny...

ahh... but um as long as your car is running okay you should be fine, get the dealer to have a look at it though. i would just check to make sure your filter is on tight and oil level is where it should be, and keep an eye on it.

 

yeah i know..it had me scared at first but when the engine is off it pretty much stays where it is. Its like the gague is upside down or something. My oil is fine and i did the engine check thing on the dash and it said OIL PRESSURE OK.

 

you should be fine. i wouldnt worry about it. as long as it functions as it should and isnt fluxuating crazily or anything.

 

It looks like the gauge is broke not the sending unit. The dealer should be able to fix it with no problem.

 

I'm sorry but have to admit when I saw the second pic I got a pretty good chuckle but you should be fine just let dealer look at it when you get a chance.
