Electric oil pressure gauges are suspect.Mechanical gauges are closest to accurate at the center of the gauge needle sweep.The reason the factories went to idiot lights is thats all the operator needs,excess oil pressure in actuality robs power by loading the pump..idiot lights stopped idiots from wrongly assuming engine wear from a 5 dollar gauge.
