A26 oil pressure high

[HighwayTA]

Hey folks! Anyone have an issue with high oil pressure on the A26 engine? No codes and I’ve already replaced the oil pressure sensor and hooked up a manual gauge to confirm its high.

How high is it?

Pressure is around 40-50 at idle after warm up. Press the gas and it shoots up around 120. Im wondering if its the oil pressure relief valve.

Check the oil sender electrical connector for pushing oil into wiring?

Yes I checked that. Didn’t change it but cleaned it after replacing the pressure sensor. The manual pressure gauge also confirmed it was high.

Im starting to think its the oil pressure relief valve.

Recently changed the relief valve but no real change. Still runs wayyyyy up when gas pedal is pressed ☹️

The pump itself or you got a blockage somewhere.
