Check oil level
you need to put a mechanical oil gauage on the eng to find out the true oil pressure let me know what the readings are will go from thier. The mechinical oil guage goes in the same spot the oil sending unit goes

Please tell me your findings as especially in the summer, at a stop my oil pressure light drops to 0 and then returns when I begin to move again. It just got a bit worse and more frequent so any info is appreciated.
