80 is 80psi (pounds per square inch). Different model cars run different oil pressures, but 80psi is the very upper end of normal. Normal runs from 20psi to 80psi. I'd be a little concerned about a reading that high. If the pressure has increased from some low lower value I would take it to a mechanic.

You can try asking your question on the webpage in the link below. Be sure to give them the make, model and year of your car. I couldn't tell if they charge for answers.

No. Many manufacturers have used Browning's patents. Your gun was made by Savage/Stevens. sales@countrygunsmith.net


What does it mean when your oil pressure gauge reads 80?

It does NOT automatically mean you have 80# of pressure! NEVER trust your gauges as being the 'last word'. They're notoriously cranky on some older XJ's. (Usually due to gauge cluster connection issues or harness oxidation.) Chances are that you have a defective oil pressure sending unit. Rarely the gauge goes bad. Remove the wire on the sending unit and see if that changes the reading. If it does, replace the sending unit. If not, I'd still replace the sending unit. After you confirm the oil pressure sending unit is good, check the oil pressure relief valve. It may be stuck closed resulting in high pressure reading.


Is 80 gauge or 100 gauge thicker?

There is no such shotgun gauge.


My jeep 2002 jeep oil pressure reads 80?

Probably just a bad calibration on the gauge. I've seen it before, and testing it with another oil pressure gauge shows normal pressures. A: when the oil pressure gauge reads 80 psi it means that there is an open sense circuit. it is most likely a defective oil pressure sending unit, but may also be an open sense circuit wire between the pcm and the oil sender. note: most defective oil senders in this condition are also leaking oil. oil may be seen leaking from the connector seal on the sender.

Around 80 psi cold at startup, and 40 psi at normal operating temperature.

What is the thing that is big round and has a small ford decal on it and how do you use it oh and what is that thing that says 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 5 -10 -20 -30 -40 -50 -60 -70 -80?

The big round with Ford decal, do not know. The gauge with -80 to +80 sounds like the oil pressure gauge. You need an owners manual real bad. I suggest you get one. Salvage yard, dealer, Ebay, and many on-line sites are sources. BTW, not my photo.
