    G’day

    Any one know why the VDO Oil pressure Gauge (Starboard Engine only) will jump up to max (150psi) from its normal pressure of 89/90 psi, this only happens after 2000rpm….thanks

    Are you using a Fleetguard oil filter?
    Have you checked and cleaned all connections, grounds included?
    Sounds high to begin with – Consider setting up a mechanical gauge on the main oil galley that can be read underway.
