I would check the connector on the oil pressure switch first, a Bad
connection will show as a apparent rise in pressure, Rotax do
recommend having the sensor remotely fitted using a flexible pipe to
reduce vibration,
Are you using the latest type with brass collar, which supposedly helped
to damp down the vibration and extend the sensors life

Subject: Europa-List: Increased oil pressure
My 912s Rotax has performed very reliably for over 400 hours, but I am
beginning to notice that the oil pressure is rising.
The pressure normally sits at 4 bar, but it is now rising to 6 bar in
flight, and drops back on idling.
Is this common, or is indicative of an impending problem?
