The oil pressure gauge in my wife's '95 LeBaron GXC is reading max pressure (Hign, or the "H" on the gauge). The car is only driven occasionally, and the oil was changed before it was stored last. There are no odd noises or smells coming from the engine, nor is there any smoke coming from the exhaust. Should I be concerned about this?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge if normal replace the oil pressure switch abnormal could mean the oil pump pressure relief valve is stuck closed
