Default Oil pressure problems

Hi people. Well my gauge goes high then back to normal been doing it for a week or so. I've checked the amount of oil and thats fine. Only had a service a month ago. But before the service the needle was going the opposite way. There has been no loss of power, no abnormal rattles or noise's. I'm wondering if it might be the sender unit. Any help appreciated

Cheers Corey

Pretty common in all the AU's. Mine does it too. Its an earthing problem or a dirty elec connection on the oil sender unit. Both cause it. Nothing to worry about.
