Thicker oil when it's cold will make your oil presure higher!

oil is thicker when it's cold I live in michigan too. when the engine warms up it should go the normal level. otherwise the sensor may be sending false info or the guage is bad or sticking. it could take longer than 15 mins. for the oil to heat up

Vescosity may be why and voltage at the gauge could cause a higher reading. But If I don't know what we are asking about I cannot answer from experence. Year make model engine size and miles also would be very helpful.
