First off let me say my car does have 130,000 some odd miles on the ticker. Normally, after warming up, my oil press. usually sits around the "A" in "normal" on the stock gauge which I'm told is a lil low. But lately, usually after driving for a good 45min on the highway, when I come to a stop my gauge will sit a lil lower than the "A" right around the second hash mark above the red mark. Then it'll suddenly drop to a lil bit above the first hash mark above the red mark. Whixh needless to say scares the crap out of me. I couldn't see this being an electrical problem. SO if anyone can gimme some input on this I'd greatly appreciate it. Cause if I'm going to be needing to build a new motor I'd like to have a lil jump start before it goes.
