Default Rising oil pressure

My au needs repair after repair. : Today I noticed cruising on the motorway the oil pressure was all the way to the right. Is this something to panic about? I know if its at the other end its bad haha...

At idle it sits in the middle, but if you bring the revs up, the guage also comes up...
Any thoughts?? thanks guys...

Common problem, its a dodgy earth on the Oil Pressure sender unit. OR the sender unit is stuffed, which I highly doubt.

Unscrew the sender unit, get a 12 or 16mm lug cripped to some wire, screw the sender unit back into the block through the lug. Then earth it out, screw it down to somewhere on the chassis, or all the way to the negative terminal on the battery.
It will fix the problem.

My gauge did the same thing, the above fixed it.
