lately, my oil pressure gauge has been reading a little high. I haven't driven it long enough lately to actually get the pressure down to reasonable levels, but the recent readings have been higher than the usual start-up numbers. It's been reading as high as 4.5 bars at idle and 5 when driving.

i'm going to check the wiring to make sure the 5 bar reading isn't actually a bad connection, but could it be anything other than that or a clogged flame trap?
