jeep oil psi gauge

[J-rod]

ok so i went to walmart for a quick oil change. ( i know stupid me) but anyways...my oil psi gauge worked fine going in. then coming home i hit the interstate and the gauge pegged well past 80 psi. i freeked and stopped to check, what i could see in dark. when i shut it off the gauge didnt drop either. everything looked fine, no smells or nothing. so then about 3/4 way home it pummeted to 0 psi. luckily i was just down the road and pulled it in. i called and told them whats up and am now going to check the gauge again on start up.

anything i should note or check? thoughts and opinions?

rob - checked the oil level and its all good


i am getting that impression of a sending unit. but kind of ironic to go bad immediately after an oil change dont ya think

check to see if they put the right oil filter on that will do it
