heh my guage goes all over the place and it scares me to death. Hopefully it's just a sensor problem for you and myself as well. Someone once said they can go bad even after replacing em it often happens again. I'll post a video sometime when it stops snowing.

my guage is very choppy sometimes. don't remember what exactly it runs tho. probably between 20-40 depending on oil temp and rpm with castrol gtx 5w30

When the oil is cold it's "thicker" than when it's hot. Oil idle pressure when cold always reads higher than when hot. Could be a guage prob but tust me if there was issues with your pump yall would be walking. Oil pumps tend to either work or fail.. A heavily worn oil pump = a dead pump imho..
