I noticed today that my oil pressure gauge would quickly go from normal, to zero, oil light will go on, then a second later shoot right back up to full pressure.
It does this constantly, a few times each minute. It bounces from 75% of guage to 0%, stays at 0% for a second, then bounces back to 75% and stays there. It does this no matter how many RPM my engine is at.
I was able to drive 4 hours today and have not noticed any issues with the car or overheating.
Should I be concerned about this, is it my gauge or my engine?
Thank you for any advice you can offer on this issue.
One other thing I wanted to point out is that today when I jump started my car, I accidently reversed polarity with the cable and had a large spark, but everything seemed fine. Its just that I noticed this oil gauge issue after doing that, maybe just a coincidence.
