is this oil guage correct
one picture is idle the other is going about 40 miles per hour. recently I had an oil change from the stealership but I do not remember it going up that high.

How's your oil level?

could it be possible that the stealership used different weight oil then the Supercar that I have been using?

or the pump could be failing.
Keep an eye on it. Before some pumps fail the oil pressure gets high spikes. Mine did. Some say new pumps are better, but I know someone with a 22 ZL1 where the pump failed.

I'd say you're fine, the oil pumps vary pressure depending on rpm. As long as you have a 2019+ ZL1 which you do, its unlikely the pump is failing.

Yours stealership theory could be right with the heavier oil weight. I kind of wish you had a panned out view to see the RPMs for said oil pressures. 40 at cold start idle is about right

I noticed the oil pressure up a bit with my oil change last week. Cold idle 40. Cruising at temp was 40-50s. Warm idle 30-32.
