oil pressure in PSI???

I'm installing an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge for my 616 - what is it's oil pressure range in PSI so I can choose a good range on the gauge?

Thanks!

You need a gauge that reads at least 120psi.

3 bar is 3 times 14.7 psi and a MB engine in good shape pegs that easily.

The oil pressure regulator is set at about 7bar (101psi) but the gauge on my filter housing has been about 110psi on sub-freezing starts.
