oil pressure guage

Was the oil just changed. If someone does a sloppy job changing the filter, see owners manual, here's the procedure. 1 remove drain plug. 2 punch small hole in top of filter with screwdriver. 33 Wrap clean rag around base of oil filter and carefully catch oil) and oil runs down over the oil cooler it can get into the oil pressure sending unit right below the oil cooler(under the filter) and really mess up oil readings. The solution is to just clean everything with degreaser or electrical parts cleaner.
