Oil pressure gauge being maxed out directly after an oil change points to a possible oil issue in the oil change. However, the fact that this is not just maxed out, but the gauge is fully in the pegged state points to a sensor issue.

However, if you need to change the oil again just to be sure then here is a guide that will help just in case you need it:

If this all checks out, then I would suggest changing the sensor because this is a common issue.

Please run through this and let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
