oil pressure sporadic

Post by 00bonne »

My oil pressure gage is all over the place(more than normal) between 0 to 60 psi. I'm thinking it could be the oil pressure sensor or maybe the pick up line, but I wanted to get a second opinion. Thoughts?

Does the car run fine? Could be a flakey oil pressure sensor.

That, to me, suggests a failing oil pressure sensor.
