I have just completed my first 6.5 engine rebuild. I started it last night a I have a lot of oil pressure, the gauge was pegged at 80psi. I am going to install a mechanical gauge to verify the finding. Can I switch to a 5W30 to help lower pressure, should I be concerned, what do I do? Thanks Joe

If you have the wire to the sender unplugged, it will peg the gauge to the top.
Is it at zero with the engine off and the key on?
