Do not run the engine until you have checked oil level, sounds like you are very low on oil.

Why is the oil pressure fluctuating on your 95 dodge Dakota?
Depends, but a normally running engine will have fluctuating oil pressures depending on engine speeds and loads. Generally speaking, as long as you have oil pressure, you're good, and at idle, good oil pressure is typically 35 psi or more, and 15 psi or more is acceptable for most engines.
What is watt engine indicator?
A watt engine indicator is used to perform a measurement of the amount of steam pressure in a cylinder. This process is completed with the assistance of a manometer.
Oil indicator light?
Th oil indicator light in most cars is attached to an oil pressure sensor. The sensor is designed to warn of low pressure to prevent engine damage.
What is the reading of oil pressure gauge before engine starts?
Oil pressure shouldn't register at all until the engine starts and builds up pressure.
2002 Trailblazer when you are at a stoplight or just in park the oil pressure gauge will sometimes go up and down from 0 to 40 and the check gauges light will come on breifly no codes pop?
Answer 1 - Fluctuating Oil Pressure Gauge IndicationI am not familiar with your particular vehicle, BUT... Usually fluctuating oil pressure during idle indicates that the engine idle speed is fluctuating and may need to be adjusted to manufacturer's specifications. Sometimes, this is an indication of wear in an engine.While the check engine warning lights are ON, indicates that during that time the engine oil pressure is below the manufacturer's recommended "safe" level.Although sustained low oil pressure can damage an engine, during idle, brief, intermittent, low oil pressure excursions do not harm the engine, but do suggest that you have the low oil pressure issue "checked out" by a qualified automotive technician.If this problem occurs at normal driving speeds, then you either are low on oil in the engine, or have other problems which could be hazardous for the health of your engine.
Purpose of an oil pressure sensor?
The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
Will a bad harmonic balancer cause fluctuating oil pressure?
No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
Why while driving on the highway your indicator light comes on in your 1995 Chrysler Sebring why?
It depends on the indicator. Check engine means the engine computer has detected a malfunction. The oil can is an oil pressure problem, a battery is a charging problem, etc
