How did you come to that conclusion Stina? Reason that I ask is if that were true, then it would defy the laws of Physics.
The oil is for the purpose of this discussion incompressible, given the temperatures and pressures that it experiences. The pressure that registers on the gauge is a function of the resistance to the flow. The standard gears will for each revolution move a certain volume of oil through the engine. The taller gears for each revolution will move a larger volume of oil through the engine, but the oil cannot be compressed so rather than forcing more through a given space, the oil travels through the engine a greater distance.

if you force a bigger volume of oil through the same hole you will get higher pressure
