## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ACFT WAS SNAGGED DURING THE RUNUP FOR LOW OIL PRESSURE, NOT IN THE GREEN AT 2000 RPM.  MAINTENANCE TESTED THE GAUGE AND SENDER WITH A CALIBRATED GAUGE AND FOUND IT TO BE READING 15 PSI LOWER THAN THE MASTER GAUGE.  A NEW OIL PRESSURE KIT WAS INSTALLED AND TESTED NORMAL.  THIS IS THE SIXTH FAILURE OF A GAUGE IN THIS ACFT ALONE AND OVER 60 OF THE NEW GAUGE KITS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON OUR FLEET FOR READING LOW.
