Default Oil pressure sender

I have a 2017 BDR with the Iconic 427 and 600 miles. The oil pressure was reading about 10 at warm idle and 30 lbs driving at 2k rpms. Didnt sound right for a new engine and proper oil level so i ordered a new vdo sender from BDR. I installed it yesterday when also changing the oil with Brad Penn 10w30 green with high zinc (recommended in bdr manual). The gauge is now reading over 100lbs at idle!

I used a Purolator One filter, cant imagine thats driving the high pressure.

I was thinking swap back to original sender and see what pressure is? What are thiughts on how to troubleshoot the high pressure and figure out what it really is?
