I'm sorry but it could not just as easily be 1000 psi. Why is the gauge crappy? I think if you test it, you will find it is quite accurate. It would have been nice if Mercedes used a gauge where the scale pegs at 100 psi.

If one is really curious what the oil pressure really is, another gauge can easily be tee-ed in to the oil line.
