Oil pressure gauge reads low but is oil is full then car shuts off it will restart but shuts off again after a few seconds?

Need more info. What kind of car? What model? What year? How many miles? Most cars will run with no oil in the motor, Only for A short time, This will ALWAYS ruin motor, Oil level being full does not make the car have oil pressure, although the car will not have oil pressure without oil in the motor. Going by the info. given, The motor needs rebuilt, This may not be the case though. could simply have a bad sending unit or guage.

When the engine starts what do you see first in the control panel gauge?
The very first thing you should see is the oil pressure gauge start to indicate pressure. (This is assuming you have an oil pressure gauge, but all large trucks have them.) If you don't have any pressure within five seconds, turn the engine off.
What is the difference between normal pressure gauge and differential pressure gauge?
A pressure gauge indicates actual pressure and a differential pressure gauge indicates the difference in pressure.
Why pressure gauge is called a gauge not a meter?
Because Pressure gauge measures the the differenceof pressure so it is called pressure gauge not meter.
2003 Volvo S 60 Oil pressure gauge reads low but is oil is full then car shuts off it will restart but shuts off again after a few seconds?
DON'T START THE ENGINE! There is a reason there is no oil pressure. The oil pump may be broken and not be siphoning the oil from the pan and the engine is getting no lubrication. There could even be damage to your crankshaft bearings or to the valvetrain, which can cause excess oil clearances and low oil pressure. If there is something internally wrong with your engine, then even cranking it can destroy it. Have the car towed to a reputable garage that does internal engine repair.
Definition of a compound gauge?
A compound gauge is a pressure gauge that displays both negative and positive gauge pressure measurements. Gauge pressure is a measurement of pressure relative to ambient pressure. For example, if ambient pressure was 14.7 PSI and you were to measure absolute vaccum using a compound gauge, the gauge would indicate -14.7 PSI.
Can bourdon's tube pressure gauge be used to measure negative pressure?
Bourdon's tube pressure gauge cannot be used to measure negative pressure. This is because absolute pressure must be measured and the Bourdon gauge only indicates the gauge pressure.
What gauge measures both vacuum and pressure?
Gauge pressure usually refers to the pressure difference between ambient, atmospheric pressure and the pressure in a vessel or line. A gauge pressure of zero would mean that the vessel or line was at atmospheric pressure. Normally the pressures of interest are ABOVE atmospheric so the gauge pressure is positive. Vacuum gauge pressure measures how far BELOW atmospheric pressure a vessel or line is. As such vacuum gauge pressure may be measured as a negative number - or for convenience it may be reported as a positive number with the caveat that it is "vacuum gauge pressure", meaning that the reported pressure is how far atmospheric pressure is above the pressure in the vessel or line.
What is micro manometer pressure?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
What is the principle of pressure gauge?
pressure gauge works on hooks law principle ,when we applying pressure in end connection of the pressure gauge ,the same pressure operating at end of the bourdon tube.
Why diaphragm of a pressure gauge is corrugated?
These are corrugated to increase the sensitivity of the pressure gauge.
Can you use an oil pressure gauge in the place of air pressure gauge?
No.No.No.No.
What is micro manometer?
A manometer is a pressure gauge. A micro manometer is either a really small pressure gauge, or a pressure gauge used to measure really small pressure difference.
