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.

Re: oil pressure gauge
