Oil Guage Fluctuations The oil guage indicates the lubricating oil pressure in the engine. Unless the sensor, guage, or its electrical circuit are defective, the drop and rise indicated by the guage are showing lowering and rising of the engine oil pressure. These fluctuations could be related to changes in engine RPM [revolutions per minute], or defects in the guaging system.

If your rpm and speedometer gauge drop and your oil pressure and temp gauge shoot up and your fan shuts off but if you tap on the steering wheel they all go back to normal could it just be a loose wire?
I'd say you have a ghost with ya.
What would cause your oil pressure gauge to go down to the red line at idle and back up when driving I'm thinking oil pump oil pressure sensor or the gauge?
sounds like the cam bearings may be going bad
How to Install an oil pump in a 1988 Bronco?
first you need to drain the oil then you unbolt the motor mounts and lift the motor up as far as it will go. unbolt oil pan and drop down as far as it will go then reach your hand up and unbolt oil pump drop pump in pan and slide pan out. put new pump in pan and slide pan back in bolt oil pump back up and then put pan back on and bolt motor mounts back up.
Is an oil gauge supposed to go up when you accelerate and back down at idle?
Found out this can be cause by a faulty oil pressure switch best known as oil pressure sending unit
Why doesnt your oil pressure gauge go up in a 2003 dodge ram?
Low oil, no oil pressure, bad sending unit, wiring, bad gauge,.............
Why would the oil pressure gauge on a 2005 Nissan Xterra drop at idle after it's warmed up?
oil pressure normally will go up and down with rms for the most part. when the motor is cold there is more oil pressure as the oil and motor get warmed up the oil thins out and the pressure goes down.
Faulty sensor was one answer for low oil pressure so what sensor could it be?
normally the oil pressure switch is on the main block if you have a pressure guage or oil pressure light on the car if you disconnect the right switch the gauge will drop or the light will go out then you know that's the switch to change.
Where does the oil pressure gauge go on a small block Chevy 350?
There is a 1/8"npt port on the back rail of the block near the distributor hole.
What cause the oil pressure in a 2000 4.2L f150 to drop to zero then go back up to normal?
assuming there is no abnormal noise (knocking or rattling), and this happens independent of engine rpm, and you are inferring this from the gauge reading, it sounds like either 1. bad sending unit (common) 2. faulty wiring (common) 3. bad gauge (least likely judging by your description)
Why does your oil gauge alarm keep going off and on Oil recently changed?
Physically check the engine oil level with the dipstick to confirm the engine is full of oil. If the engine is full, the oil level sensor or wiring to it may be at fault. If the level is low, go back to where the oil was changed and complain.
Do drop outs go back to school?

Where is the oil in shrink ray island?
