Oil Pressure Running High
My oil pressure is running high and got worse last oil change. Is this normal? It's about 2-3 dashes past center. I drive her pretty hard about half the time and do a lot of city driving for short trips but 99% of the time make sure that it is to normal operating temperature before turning it off. I think that my gas milage is pretty abismal as well.
These are all common problems that I have seen on this forum but I was wondering if the coexistance of all of tehm showed something else.
Also, is there a preferred oil that I could be using for optimum performance?
If that oil is really expensive, what is the best value?
Thanks!

The gauge shouldn't be moving. It is only a switch. I doubt anyone would have to mess with the switch when changing your oil, but keep an eye on it. Also check your oil levels. If the needle continues to move make an appointment with the dealer.

just get oil changes every 3-5k miles. There isn't much else to do for the car.
At 2 years, I had the transmission, diff, coolant and brake fluids swapped.
Might also want to do air filter once a year.
Read your owner's manual, there's a schedule in there.
