i feel like this might be a no brainer but i just want to make sure.
the oil gauge on my dash fluctuates between 40 and 0 when im at iddle and triggers the "check gauges" light when it hits 0. in a 10 second mark, it goes to 0 to 40 like 3-4 times. does not matter if im in park or drive, its weird. started happening a few months ago and then stopped and had not happened in a while. now its happening a bit more often. i am NOT seeing any changes in RPM and my actual oil level is within range (almost to the full mark), on the dip stick.
im wondering if the issue is the oil pressure sensor or the oil level sensor...or (hopefully not) the oil pump.
one thing that i did find weird is that when i am picking up speed or with my foot on the gas above 2500 or 3000 rpm my oil gauge goes to like 50 or 55. usually goes back down to 40 once im cruising. any ideas?
