    Default Oil Pressure

    Yesterday my grandson was flying my CC-160 and reported high oil pressure. Way into the yellow he said.
    What could have happened?
    i have never seen that. It usually runs about 70 psi.

    Unless it is an analog gauges I would maybe look for an electrical issue. Connector or wire with an intermittent connection in the oil pressure sensor wiring?

    Pete, would not an intermittent break in the oil sensor
    wiring cause the oil press to drop?

    Seastar did you ever find out what caused your high oil pressure indication.? Ive got the same situation going on in my Fx2 . The oil press vacillates from about 73 to 85 PSI to as high as 97psi . Above 90psi also illuminates on the high oil press warning on the G3X screen?

    The problem was a faulty oil pressure probe. Replaced it and all is well.
    They fail often I hear.
