H2 Oil Pressure Gauge question
 

H2 Oil Pressure Gauge Can you guys do me a favor? I need to know when your H2 is sitting and not running at all what is your Oil pressure gauge showing for a reading. I seem to never go to 0, and I think that is odd. Also I see that it will reach almost 80 PSI when I accelerate, but at cursing speed (about 60) it sits on about 50-60 PSI. However when shut off (no key in the ignition) it shows about 20 psi.

Now with that being said does the H2 have a gauge test that will reset the gauges? I have had some cars/trucks where you can do something and the gauges will sweep a few times and then reset.

Thinking the oil gauge has somehow gotten set at 20 psi while thinking that was 0???

I have read the threads showing that the needles were stuck and so on, but this one moves...

I topped off the oil the other day and noticed it the first time (may have been like that for a long time) but just curious...

Thanks

my oil guage is all over the place, its reading pressure but sometime the needle may be staight down or may be reading 60 psi

I'm not sure but it seems i have read some where that some people have gage problems in there h2's between 06 and 09 and that they had to replace there intire cluster panels don't know for suremine is an 03 and havent' had any problems other then a bad clutch fan! try going to read some of there threads Hope this helps!

thnx, I will chk it out.

My gauge works fine it just seems like the zeroed out setting has moved... so before it would go to zero when you shut off the motor... now it goes to 20 and then when you start it it goes to like 45-55 and when you drive it rests on 60 and higher depending on if you are giving it gas it may reach 75ish on hard accel.

so I wonder if the gears slipped or if it needs recalibration or... who knows. Just annoying is all.

thnx for your coment.

odd, but this morning its almost back to zero and is reading the right PSI... or close to it. I guess I will just ignore for now...

I'm in Canada, but my oil pressure gauge is all over the place as well. 275 is the 12:00 position, when I start it, it goes to the 2:00 position, and sometimes at a red light, it will go to the 10:00 position. I've had it in to the dealership, and all they did was charge me $60 to tell me there is nothing wrong with it!

I have a 2005 H2 and my gauge goes to the 6 Oclock straight down. I thought about replacing the oil sensor , however I cannot seem to find it. Does anyone know where it is located . Could this be a sending unit problem ?

My 04 H2 just did the same thing. Needle at 6 o'clock but moves with engine rpm changes.

I did use a code reader this AM to clear some codes after installing headers and new cats.

Any thoughts? I sure hope it isn't the guage.

Both H2's I have owned plus loaners always have sat dead on 40 after being driven warm/hot when at idle.
