Following on my post of about month ago.  I changed the sender for a new
vdo but sadly the result is the same.  My oil pressure increases with
altitude...50psi at 29"map at sea level, 55-57psi at 5000' 29"map.

At low rpm the reading jumps around 45-55psi and then settles down once rpm
is increased.

All other temps etc are green and stable: cht, oil temp, egt. And the
engine is apparently running fine..smooth and the isual amount of power.

I cleaned out the oil tank about 20 hours ago and purged as required.

The sensor is a new vdo and I have dynon skyview.  325 hours on the engine.

Any bright ideas?

The oil pressure ball/spring perhaps?

Thanks
Will
