I realized I never posted a finished photo from back in May!

It's been a few months now and I wish I did it sooner!

Do a quick test. With your engine not running, turn your key to the full accessory position and see what your oil pressure gauge reads.

General question for all of you - will almost any of these wheels work for a 997.1? Forget about the MF buttons and paddles, don't have them now, don't care (and I have a manual so...) I'm debating doing this but if any new splined wheel will work as long as it has the correct airbag, then I'm in. TIA

Yes,
Swapping a manual, non MF wheel is plug and play. Just need the correct airbag
Shameless plug, I have one for sale right now https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1265910

Your oil pressure looks really high at idle for an oil temp of 200 or so and a normal water temp. I'm guessing your oil pressure sender has gone bad and is reading a couple numbers high all the time. Should obviously show zero when the engine isn't running. If it shows anything else, like 1.5 or 2, time for a new sender. If so, you'll need a ratchet and crowsfoot wrench.

He was sharing his steering wheel and you offered unsolicited guidance on maintenance! Just solidifies what I said last week.

Yeah, I'm funny that way (a little Porsche OCD), and ​​​​​​ tend to notice stuff like this when people post pics, whether that was the subject of the pic or not.

Makes we want to throw random pics of my car up as a PPPPI (Petza Post Purchase Picture Inspection).
