oil pressure gauge error

[devil_z33]

hi there, I have a problem with my oil pressure gauge. Last week, I notice that the oil pressure gauge pass 120psi when I start the engine. I took it to the dealer and have them checked. They said that the K&N oil filter cause the oil pressure sending unit malfunction. Anyone knows what it is going on with the K&N oil filter. Please help!!! Thanks

ok that is horse poop about your filter. The oil pressure on a VQ is very high on cold start up. When I was in tech school the instructor had a maxi set up with an op gauge and had us start it cold, the pressure exceeded 100psi. I really dont think there is anything wrong. Maybe your k&n is affecting it slightly but not enough to be alarmed about as long as the pressure comes back down to normal range once it warms up I wouldnt worry about it.
