i think his oil light has been bypassed for the guage.

was it flickering before the oil gauge was added?

Before the oil gauge was added the oil pump broke and had to be replaced. And yes the light has been bypassed

i just get the feeling its your oil strainer

engine flush mate and re do your oil., its cheap option to find out and eliminate possibilities

I was thinking oil flush too. I'll pick up a new filter and some new oil from fast parts on the way home

I think it could be the gauge playing up. Turned the ignition on yesterday and the oil pressure was on 5psi before id fired the engine up

Any recommendations for a better gauge without breaking the bank?

have you checked the wiring to the sender?

Nope, should i be? It gets reading consitently and doesnt drop out.

yeah but if its reading 5psi before you even start the engine it might be a problem with the wiring
