- Yesterday I notices that the oil pressure gauge would fluctuate quickly at times, I generally noticed it at idle. Anything to worry about? Is it a symptom of something else? -- John Steczkowski Direc

- It's definately something to look into right away. If your pressure is low or the oil's not circulating well, you're asking for major engine damage. Could be the pump, a leak in the system (ha! now t

- What level is your oil when checking with the dip stick?......I had just=20 this problem recently when I neglected to check the oil levels after a lon= g=20 continental tour. The needle would move t

- Your problem hopefully! is in the gauge. You could have a leaky pipe towards the gauge.

- pump... hard to check, could be, I was also thinking... Is there an oil pressure relief valve? Maybe that mechanism is going. Luckily, the oil pressure (according the potentially faulty gauge) stays

- it a when you say quickly, I presume that you are saying +/- 2 psi with the needle moving a couple times a second? This would be quite normal, I've had a couple of LBC's which have all done this fro

- I had that problem a while back, but only at a point as the oil was approaching operating temperature. It never fluctuated into the low pressure zone. This rapid fluctuation went away when the engine

- I'd say more like +/- 20 psi, maybe twice/second. It does seem to be at only certain rpms Hmmmm maybe I'm worried about nothing, with the work I've done, the pressure stays above about 25psi....

- John Twist writes that fluctuation of the oil gauge at certain rpms is a function of a harmonic of the pressure relief valve and is nothing to worry about if you have no other bad indications. PaulH.
