Oil pressure always at 60psi?
Recently my oil pressure has stayed at 60psi, even at idle after the car is warm. I always thought that when the sender went bad it either stayed at 0 or it pegged the needle. Any opinions before I cough up $20 for another sender? (Hopefully the new one will last more than 5k miles if the sender is at fault)

When you turn your key to the acc position does the oil gage go to 0 or 60? If it goes to 60 then you have a open circuit. Also make sure you sending unit is for a gage type, not a light.
