Question...
My Oil Pressure gauge is screwy. I noticed two things. The pressure will go between 25 and 45 PSI all day long driving. The only thing I can think of is the dipstick seal, when the dipstick is on, and the oil filler tube cap sometimes don't seem tight, or sealed. I don't know much about pressure "inside" an engine...I know higher HP engines can get "blow-by" if revved too high, but it doesn't affect pressure of oil. It's usually a pump, clogged up in the pan, correct?
What else can cause a fluxuating oil pressure gauge? (note*) I KNOW the engine is good....to the point that I'm not worried to drive it, I have, however, seen the pressure gauge needle go all the way to ZERO.
Wierd.
