as meaningless as the factory oil pressure gauge is, this really isn't a big deal. But, I am curious if this happens to everyone else.
seems like every fewe years or so I replace my oil pressure sensor. the day it is new it always shows the most oil pressure (needle pointing roughly at the M in normal).
after about a month it will start to show lower oil pressures until a few years down the road when it is pointing at low. then I replace the sensor and the cycle starts over. this has happened a few times. is it just bad design / materials? whats going on here.
either way I don't rely on that gauge for acurate readings anyway, it just annoys me.
