Narrative:
While being vectored for final the oil pressure began to rise above 60%. 50-60% power was being used at the time. I monitored the oil pressure as it maintained between 60-65%. Then it began to climb past 70%; as we turned to final it reach 80-85%. At that point I was close enough to the airport to bring the power setting to close to idle. The oil pressure dropped in the green. I landed and went to the FBO. When I checked the oil; smoke began to come out and the oil color was solid black.
