There's a spring on the back of the gauge that needs to be fixed. You'll have to remove the instrument cluster to fix it. Just be sure to remember the original position of the needle when the car is off.
as for a aftermaket gauge, you will need a adaptor block
to go under the oil cooler to hook it up, unless you get
one that has the right threads to fit in where the OEM mazda
sender is.

take a pic of the cluster before you take it apart.

First before you take things apart, when was the last time you changed your oil? how much oil did you put in? If you put too much it will cause you to read high oil pressure. Also what viscosity did you put in?
Once i added too much 20W50 and whenever i hit high revs the oil pres gauge will peg and iw ould get a warning light... too me 300 kms of driving for the oil to be used up some.
Btw the stock oil pressure gauge is not garabage. Why does everyone think everything on the car is garbage?
