Oil Pressure?
I’ve noticed while driving the truck the oil pressure gauge is all over the map. One day it will be slightly below the l mark near H and then next time it will be just below half way mark. Is there any rhyme or reason for this? Is the gauge just not very accurate? Or is there reason for concern? Thanks for help!

Erratic oil pressure readings could be a sign that you need to change the oil pressure sending unit.
