    130 Psi ??? !!! ???

    Re-Set Buttom?? I've not had the oil problem on DIC; however, my DIC air psi on one of the sensor was stuck very low, others three were normal @ 32 so I hit in the reset button and the odd stem went right to normal reading! Won't hurt to try it when that odd reading is on.
