I have a Jab 3300 Gen2 with 504 hours. At idle I see 78 psi on the D120. I relocated the VDO to the firewall and installed a new VDO. I am still seeing 72 psi at idle with a warm engine. My question is this:
1. is there a setting on the D120 that I need to change or adjust?
2. Is it possible that I got a bad VDO?
3. Is there a better manufacture option other than the VDO?
Thank you for any assistance out guidance you can provide.
UPDATE 6/30
I mounted the new VDO sender in the firewall. Still has the high readings. I then used a test kit to measure the oil pressure. It was 38 psi. I called Dynon and was told to change the setting to 3 on the D120. Fixed the problems. Never was a problem with the sender at all. I am so glad to find out it was a swing and not anything else more serious.

Not sure if it works with Dynon, but I have had better luck with this solid-state sender from Amazon.
