Default Oil psi

just recently my oil gauge is pegged at 80 psi, I checked the digital read out and it is indicating 129 psi.

I know low oil psi is not good, but extremely high psi doesn't sound good either.

Does someone know what I am up against?

Your oil pressure sender is bad. This is super common ... there's probably 300 threads on the subject. Do a search in this forum for "high oil pressure" or "oil pressure sender".
