Default Oil questions

Alright so my oil light is always on, i check the oil and its just fine. So i just ordered a new oil sensor to see if that will fix it, however i ran into another weird thing. My oil pressure sensor is always off the charts, all gears and all RPMs, only time its below max is when im idling. What could this be from?

What weight oil are you using? Are you seeing change oil, or low oil? I think there's two... Also, did you reset your change oil light when you changed your oil? You're supposed to put the key to the front, and hold the trip mileage button thing on the speedo for 12 seconds...

Might be a bad OPSU, I would change it with a GM one. The ones from Autozone or Oreilley's a lot of times are bad...
