Re: Oil pressure question
I'll bet it is not 80psi but a faulty gauge or sender indicatingh 80.
Your mechanic can remove the sender and screw in a mechanical pressure gauge to verify oil pressure.
If in fact it is at 80, you must have a stuck relief valve and need to get that fixed. I've seen oil filters blown off of engines when a valve gets stuck.
And then usually something caused it to get stuck, metal, and it came from somewhere.
