Default oil pressure gage..Problem

gage is showing a high pressure at 60 with car started. If you turn off the car the gage drops back to zero but then rasies to 20. If you just turn the key without starting car the gage will go back to zero.

Anybody have an idea what is wrong with the oil gage????

it's very common for the oil pres. sending unit to go bad, it's located behind the intake manifold
