Code 402, oil pressure drops

I've got a '98 F150.throwing codd 402, excessive flow EGR, also the oil pressure drops to absolute zero only when gear shifts but comes right back up. No knocking or other distress sounds in engine. I know I'm in need of an oil change. I already searched a bit and decided to swap out the DPFE sensor which I did purchase from the dealership. No code as of yet but what could that pressure drop be? Could a simple il change and filter fix that?

Welcome to the forum

The oil pressure could be a bad sending unit. I would temporarily hook up a mechanical gauge to verify pressure.

The problems are completely separate but coincidental.

Replace the oil sender switch while you're doing the oil change.

Thanks for the advice. It was the DPFE sensor and some neglect (oil) causing the issues....she runs like a champ again.
