The pressure gauge that is set up in front of the pool filter is there to show you when the filter needs cleaning or back washing. when the pressure gets high it indicates that there is too much dirt there for the water to pass efficiently, Cleaning it at this point will reduce the pressure and make the water flow better through the filter

∙ 13y agoIt could mean on of a few things, either A) There's air in the system building up pressure in the filter, open up the bleeder valve and let all the air out until you get a steady stream of water coming out, this should reduce your pressure. B) You could have a clog or obstruction of some kind on the back end of the system, going from the filter to the pool, check that out, or 3) The Filter may be very dirty and therefore be ineffective, clean/backwash the filter to solve this problem.

Possible clogged oil galley, filter, defective oil pressure gage, or the use of an oil that is the incorrect weight. Replace the oil filter with a Purolator filter and change the oil. Install 5W-30 oil. If the pressure is still high then you need to have the oil pressure tested with an accurate test gage, to see exactly what it is.
