Sporadic oil pressure.

Okay, so I was driving home tonight and couldn't help but notice my oil pressure jumping around under high boost. It would typically hover at 80 then drop to 60 and bounce around all in between there. Is this normal?

Oil level is full?

What sort of gauge are you using to measure pressure?

No it isn't normal. I'd suspect your gauge is busted, the connection for your gauge is faulty, or you have an oil blockage somewhere.

What does your oil level look like?

Well I just changed the oil and sea foamed her and it seemed to have fixed the problem whatever it was. Probably should've tried that before posting... Thanks anyways guys!

Changing your oil, and seafoaming your engine probably didn't fix the problem, it fixed the symptoms.

I would advise you to keep an eye on things, and regularly check your oil level.

I'll take heed to that advice. I'll come back with an update in a couple of days.
