Why does the oil pressure gauge read higher in cold weather?
When checking the oil pressure gauge, keep in mind that the pressure reads higher in cold weather due to the higher thickness (also known as viscosity) of the oil. The inner workings of an oil pressure gauge depends in large part on the type: electric or mechanical.
How can you tell if your oil pressure is too low?
Oil pressure gauge reading too low, generally below 15 to 20 PSI while idling. Cold weather can also make the oil pressure read low until the oil pump has had a chance to deliver the oil to the engine. Oil pressure gauge reading too high, or over 80 PSI while driving, especially at higher RPMs.
How does an oil warning light work on a car?
Some vehicles use an oil warning light instead of an oil pressure gauge. In this case, the warning light connects to a sensor that uses a simple on/off switch that reads the oil pressure through a diaphragm attached to the engine. When an oil pressure gauge stops working properly, ask a mechanic to make sure it is not faulty.
Why does the oil pressure read high on my car?
Sometimes the wrong grade of oil causes the oil pressure to read high. The mechanic will make sure that your vehicle has the correct grade of oil and change it to the proper grade if necessary. Worn bearings sometimes cause the oil pressure to show a low reading.

How many miles does the mileometer say on a car?
And its mileometer has been round the clock twice to 232,815 miles. The speedometer and mileometer stopped at the same time that it came on. And every year we measured the mileage on the mileometer – it was 182 miles. If the mileometer says it’s done significantly less, look for signs you’re being misled.
What to do when your odometer has zero miles on it?
When a shop/garage has to replace a digital odometer, the replacement odometer sent from the factory has zero mileage on it, so the odometer needs to be sent out to a professional speedometer facility to have the mileage from the old odometer transferred onto the new odometer. The process is not complex, but it is time consuming.
Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
