Fluctuating oil pressure gauge readings can be caused by several factors, including a faulty oil pressure sending unit, which may provide inaccurate readings. Low oil levels or dirty oil can affect oil flow and pressure, leading to fluctuations. Additionally, a malfunctioning oil pump or leaks in the oil system can result in inconsistent pressure. Lastly, engine wear or damage can also contribute to unstable oil pressure readings.
