Oil press gauge does the same thing...
It's kinda funny to watch. Any amount of pedal makes it instantly swing past 80. Sometimes it bobbles.
I have no idea why this happens. The V6 runs almost perfect, so I'm not worried.
After all, better to have too much oil pressure than not enough.

yesterday i replaced my oilpressure switch now i just hangs out at about 70. i checked the pressure with a agauge and it reads about 40 to 45 when i lay on the throttle. i am thinking i have a bad groung or the gaguge in my dash is all screwed up

i'm just gonna say screw it and put a aftermarket gauge in that i have to run a line to the gauge. that way i'll know the real pressure all the time i hope
