Fuel pressure was steady, but fuel flow jumped to 10+ which I thought odd.What kind of fuel pressure reading did you get after failure?
Any other alarms popped-up?
(Close to 100 on hobbs, want to be ready)

I don't. It could just as well be coincidence.How do you know it's not the fuel flow indicator that went bust?
It may come to that. I can't see how it's related to the oil pressure sensor in any way (which is why I didn't initially mention it WRT the oil pressure loss) so I thought about what else could have caused it using the "well, what else has changed" methodology. The only other difference on this flight was that I was using mogas instead of 100LL for the first time. Fuel related, which is nice, but is there that much of a difference between the two? I wouldn't have guessed so.Early on (about 40 hrs TT) I experienced two high flow spikes. I did all the T-shooting looking for a real source of high flow, but everything was normal. I raised the alarm set point to some ridiculous level to avoid spurious alarms, and I monitor the indication. After 250 hrs no problems.
