Default A different oil pressure sensor question

Had this car for approx a year. Now has 27k miles. 2002

The ops would show a steady 38 to 40 after warm.

Now it shows approx 8 to 10 more... Running 46 to 50 on the gauge. All the time.

Nothing has changed on the car.

Any ideas ? Ops going bad or something else ?

Thanks

Are you saying you haven't changed the oil or filter in that year?

Did not happen after the oil change. Just out of the blue when I started the car one day. Well after the oil change.
