oil gage .....not the temp
 
was readin a lil past 110 after i rode around for an hr also when i turned it on it was shakin a lil i checked the oil an it smelled like gas a lil ....wha's goin on?:mad:

110 is too high. There is a blockage in the oil system somewhere.

What does the oil look like? Golden brown or is it darker?

When was the last time it was changed?

What viscosity do you use?

it's golden brown....but i also heard a hissin noise on the passanger side of the engine....im going 2 change it soon mayb sunday

Track that hissing noise down. It's likely an unrelated vacuum leak, but it could be an oil leak. I'm still kinda new to the old 12a, are there any vacuum lines that could cause an oil issue?

Also, check the wiring and oil pressure sensor. There have been a few posts around here where there was a loose/broken/shorted/pinched wire that led to an unusual sensor reading.

no it's a 13b .......that hissin noise doesnt happen ne more but that gage does i hope it's just a wire thnx

Dude, Same THing happened to me this week end. The oil pressure started out a little high but once I got in to the Interstate it went all the way up. Turns out I had a bad OPSU hope that is all you have wrong. Good Luck
