Very high oil pressure!!! Please help.
So i got about 70+k miles on my s5 13b turbo and just did an oil change like 3 days ago. I use castrol 10w40 all the time with a premium oil filter and i change my oil every 2 months.
So this morning i start my car for its 5-10 min warm up like usual and noticed my oil pressure was going down slower than usual. So after a good 10-12 minutes i take off with my oil pressure around 40 lbs.
I new something was up with the long warm up time and on my way to work it was going pass 60 lbs. IT NEVER GOES PASSED 60 lbs, so then i drive slow to keep the pressure down.
I get to work and let my car run and the oil pressure is actually staying at 60 lbs! Im actually on lunch right now and on the way home the pressure guage was maxing out at 110 lbs with me driving as slow as possible and coasting as much as possible. (My work is less than 5 miles away from my house!)So i let it cool down and still the pressure guage wont go below 60 lbs.
Im guessing my omp is clogged or stuck, please someone help me! i love that damn 7.
