Oil pressure gauge

I was out running around and noticed that my digital oil pressure gauge was reading 5 psi higher when idling and over 10 psi while at around 2500 rpm over the installed dial gauge, now I am curious which is reading correctly. Anyone run into this?

Thanks

They show the same pressure expressed differently. The dial shows the pressure measurement in Bars - one atmospheric bar being around 14 psi. The digital is in psi. If you desire, you may change the digital reading to bar from psi so that they will read the same

Yeah. I had to look twice the first time I saw it. With the exception of the tach I generally ignore all the analog dials

I actually love the analog dials and am thrilled that they are so accurate. Porsche did a great job.
