2001 Pontiac Bonneville with 3.8 v-6 135,000 miles.
Oil Pressure gauge is at it's maximum pressure reading all the time. This just happened within the last week. I change oil every 3,500 miles and the engine does not use oil. Even though the oil pressure gauge is to the right as far as possible, the indicator on the right side of the dash does not say ( Check Gauages ). I think it is the Oil Pressure sending unit. If I am right, where is it and can I get at it from the bottom of the car when I change the oil?
