Paul, It's defective. Depending on the oil you are using it may run 70-80 at high idle 1st starting out, but normally running 20/40 oil it should read around 70 high and 30 hot idle low rpm.

My oil pressure gauge always reads just under 80 psi the instant I start the car. Is this correct? Just want to make sure, as I hear there are possible issues with incorrect senders that display the wrong pressure.
