If it's loose, it could be leaking and giving false readings!

Sold 1000's of those puppies, they leak like sieves, and not just from the threads.

There are two different ones. With an oil gauge, it takes a different one than with a oil warning (idiot) light.

Look at the top and back side of the engine the best you can, make sure the oil isn't running down from the top.
If it's not ontop of the tranny or coming down from the sides, then your oil pan or rear main are what's leaking.
