Oil pressure high?

From what I've read this is extremely high! Can someone inform me if this is true for a 2014 535d. No codes showing, I just happen to come across this while paying around in the app.

Something's wrong! 137 psi oil pressure would blow out every gasket in the engine! Probably blow off the oil filter too! I'm thinking that's about twice what it should be.

Yeah that's what I figured, but the car runs perfectly fine. I wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't stumble upon it in the app! What are the odds it's a sensor issue, would it throw a code if the sensor we're bad?

That is too high mine I just checked is around 30-34 idle and during WOT 60-70 psi.

I'm going to guess the units are wrong on a hunch.

137kPA is 19.87 psi. That would also explain why the graphic thinks that it's currently reading the "low end" of typical range.

I recall decent idle oil pressure on my Porsche which had a gauge being 1-2bar (1 bar = ~15psi) and 4-5 bar cruising.

On mine. Below 40C. Pressure at 100psi. But that's cold start.

Above that. Idle is like 36to 40psi. Diesel is different?
