If we're on the same page here, and we're talking about coolant temp, yes, higher elevations can cause increased engine temps due to the engine working harder because of less dense air, and the fact that water boils at a lower temp at altitude.

I was thinking the same thing...what oil pressure gauge?... unless he's gone to a 996 cluster and the whole shebang with a sender. I'm pretty sure he is talking coolant temp.
