Well the gauge does respond well. What is too high is relitive.
Cold oil will give higher readings
Higher RPM - same
Thicker oil - same
At operating temp my gauge reads a bit over 1/2 at idle and maybe 3/4 at revs.
I used Havoline 5W30 during break in and Castrol syntec 0W-30 now. Strangely, the 0W30 gives slightly HIGHER pressure than the 5W30 did. Some 30W oils are thicker than others at operating temps.
High pressure isn't necessarly a problem but did you change the oil weight or filter -? or was it always reading like that.
