Oil Pressure Guage Pegged???
Ok this morning I was driving to work and noticed my oil pressure guage was pegged all the way to 80. Nothing different this morning, temp was about 28 degrees, I am running Full Synthetic 5W30 and it doesn't seem to be running any different. I did a search but couldn't find anything about it. Any ideas? Oil has only been in there about 1k miles. Thanks in advance for any advise. Sorry it is a 2001 XJ Sport with a 4.0L A/T.

have you done an oil change recently? I had mine changed a year ago and they broke the wires at the base of the connector plug for the sender. I just installed a new sensor and noticed the broken wires.
my gauge fluctates a good bit and normally runs between 40-80. I have no problems in mine. Id like to get a new connector with some wire to fix it but JY's dont list it and Im a good drive away from a U-pull it place.

Awesome, thanks all. Easy enough fix. Will get to that one over the weekend also when I change front and rear Diff fluid and flush the coolant again.
