Default Oil Preasure??

Will a standard car oil preasure gauge work on the shovel? Had a lack of oil preasure problem. Local dealer said to clean the cam screen. When I pulled the op gauge off it was full of water, had been reading only a couple lbs. Screen has pretty dirty so I cleaned it and went to Napa and picked up a new gauge. Started it and pegged the gauge @ 100lbs. At running temp reads between 70 &amp\\; 75 lbs. Is the gauge wrong? or Should I be concerned about blowing out a seal or worse????79FXS..... Doug

HD motors have very low (10-20 lb) oil presure.
