oil pressure
What is standard oil pressure for this car? I'm sitting at 120psi. This seems high. The guage shuts off when the car does and does the normal motion upon start up.
Thanks,
Thanks,

yeah, that'* very high, but don't worry, because it sounds like your sender'* busted. Don't worry, it'* a pretty easy fix, but I don't know a dang thing about 00+, so hopefully someone else will chime in.

OK, talked me into it. I think the old link I posted is broken due to Yahoo moving things around. It does sound like the oil pressure sender is bad. Some get it from underneath, others find it easier from the passenger side wheel well, after removing the tire. Probably easier while changing the oil, as you'll loose a little oil.

Honestly..if the car isn't running...most of the oil is in the pan. Oil loss is minimal.
Due to where the transmission is located as it passes behind the motor to the axle.. I found it easy to remove the tire and splash shield.
