WD-9 oil pressure off the guage?

Hello,

Got the first of my two WD-9s running on Wed. Installed what I think is the correct oil guage for it(regular IH guage with a small red band on the left). The problem is I seem to have too much oil pressure? I'm running cheapo 5w-30 to just flush the engine before I put in some Rotella 10w-30. The pressure is pegged all the way to the right unless it is warmed up and idling real slow, then it is only 3/4 of the way across. Did IH make different guages in this configuration? (higher pressure for diesel) If I install a numbered guage what should it read? Seems to run fine. If someone bypassed the pressure relief on it I should still be OK in the summer I would think. Is the oil filter a full flow or bypass setup on these tractors?

Thanks,

Mark
