Check the ground and connection. A new sending unit may be needed. As this happen at certain RPM's, at idle, when it's cold or hot? How long have you had the problem?

the oil gauge is a dummy gauge anyway, you are better off installing a aftermarket oil gauge like an autometer that cost $40 and have actual results

+1 the resistor in your gauge is probably bad.
