Higher oil pressure after oil change and fans on high?
Changed my Engine and procharger oil today once i started it up i realized the gauge for oil pressure is showing a lot higher than normal at idle and the fans are kicking on at high speed. Kind of at a dead end don’t know what i could’ve done when it was just an oil change…

Looks normal to me, once the car warms up it will come down a bit.

Really? Before hand it would sit under 40 and would only go up that high on wide open throttle. And the fans are also kicking on full speed…

That oil pressure looks normal to me (Mine doesn't go below 40, usually). I do find after an oil change it does read a bit higher then before. As the oil ages you should see it go down slightly

Interesting problem.
The fans business I'm not sure about, but maybe rodents or heat got to wires? weird that the temp gauge seems to be working, yet fans on high. The oil pressure... Since you've done oil changes before (assuming same weight of oil), the pressure should not just jump 5 psi. Another weird problem, but I would maybe change the filter. Maybe the filter bypass is stuck open. |

Do the fans cycle on and off with the A/C turned on?
