Oil gage needle bouncing up and down

The oil pressure gage starts bouncing around allot.

Sounds like the wiring harness connection in the back of the speedo cluster is loose. This will cause crazy reading and the vehicle will perform like normal... sound about right??

Have someone unscrew your oil pan bolt and let some of the oil run into a oil pan

I have an oil pressure gauge that reads in analog, 0 to 150? something like that, any way, it moves like a tachometer, idle down around 10, revs up to 55, 60 when taking off and then settles down at 35 while cruising, I notice a change with heavier oil. Also, I know it will read 55 lbs pressure with 1 qt of oil in there, I tried it. So the pressure gauge has nothing to do with amount of oil in engine. As long as it is full, It should be ok, as long as it is reading pressure, but if the pressure drops off, shut it down and find out what happened, If it loses all the oil, the temp light should come on long before the oil light.

CHECK GAGES LIGHT IS NOT GOOD OLNY OIL PROBLEM OR RADIATOR PROBLEM WILL SET THAT OFF CHECK ANTIFREEZE DON;T LET IT OVER HEAT THE INTAKE GASKET AND HEAD GASKETS WILL START LEAKING CHECK FOR OIL IN ANTIFREEZE AND ANTIFREEZE IN OIL IF ITS PRESENT YOU;VE GOT BLOWEN GASKETS GOOD LUCK

You may have a bad oil pressure sending unit. The kit they are talking about, I believe is a rebuild kit, not the entire pump. Usally the kit consists of a couple rotors and seals. You would take the old parts out the oil pump housing, and install the new ones. But you want to make sure that all the clearances are within specs. I'd try the sending unit first.

It is just as likely that the fuel level sending unit in the tank is bad as it is that the fuel guage in the dash is bad. The guage is MUCH easier and cheaper to change; try that first.

you need to replace your sending unit first. its usually $5 or so dollars. If you still have the problem after you fix that. you may have a more serious problem.

The cheapest thing to try would be replace the oil pressure sending unit. Probably no more than $10.

I have the same problem with my car..It is the speedo in the car that is bad...check into getting that replaced it should work fine after that.
