Thanks - I'll start with this and go back to my Indy as they've just replaced the sender.
Leading evidence: 'Replace sender' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sender unit' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Fill also' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sorry about the focus on the first pic.
Is anyone else's oil pressure this high?
This is towards the end of an hours drive.
Oil is 5W-40 and oil pressure sender has recently been replaced.
If it reads 0 with ignition on but engine not running then it seems failrly normal to me .. a little high as i would expect 4.5 bar warm reving but to be honest i only tend to take much notice if its reading low !
Mine started reading very high when the sender unit was on its way out. It then started periodically dropping to 0 which scared the hell out of me before I read it was a really common issue. Probably not your issue here but worth bearing in mind - was a really easy fix and cheap for a genuine Porsche part.
Turns out it's not reading 0 with ignition on but engine not running.
Even though I've just had the sender replaced. Is there any other way to correct this?
To be honest thats a very small over read , they tend to be 1 bar over with a faulty sender .
Your readings are fine if you take that small over read into account .
It could be a gauge fault .. ive never replaced one for that though .
It could be a slight resistance on the wiring .. ive never seen it though.
Its probably the sender unit .. new or not it can read wrong .. they are pretty basic inside.
You will have other warnings if the oil pressure drops too low so if it was my car .. id just leave it .
If you want to prove anything though .. unplug the sender and see if the gauge goes to zero .. if it doesnt then your into a gauge .. and thats part of the instrument cluster .. last 996 one i bought cost £2500 !
