    Too much oil on dip/stick might show fuel in oil that will lower oil pressure.

    my guess is bad sensor; I have same motor D13/ 2008; i replaced it also, was showing low value; never happened to get diesel in oil in my 1,360,000 miles; the only way to get in would be from leaking injectors and i did the cups job/injectors 4 times; mine shows lower than 60 at low rpm, i use thin 5w40 oil, i keep pto/rpm at 800 if idling
    Anyway i wouldn't drive far with low oil pressure, if the oil pump is bad some parts could stay dry and damage the motor.
