About a week ago when my wife was pulling into the neighborhood the Low Oil Pressure Light came on and the Oil Pressure Gauge bottomed out a few times and then everything went normal.
Let the Beast sit for a while, checked the oil level and all was good. Checked again in the AM before a doctor's appointment and level was just under the full mark.
No problems for a few days and it happened again today. Same symptoms as last time, a few dings, Low Oil Pressure Light came on, the Oil Pressure Guage jumped up and down again. Checked the level after the Beast sat awhile and still just under the full mark.
So is this a sensor going out or something else going on, like a bad pump or sending unit?
What should I be looking at to rectify this?
