Default bad oil sensor/sender ?
i'm usually reading around 45 psi and this morning she is pegged at 120 psi

I dont see any oil spill in the engine bay. would this be a bad sensor?

Yeah, mine did that, then after a week or so it failed completely and started bouncing around constantly telling me to check oil pressure. New sender, works perfectly.

$35 off GMPartsDirect.com

I bought mine at NAPA and had no problems with it.
