I've got a problem with my oil pressure.. when my engine becames hot, and I am to a light, my oil gauge shows me "0", goes up for a second, return to 0 and do this little loop until I move...

what is the problem? My friend say that it is the oil filter..
My engine got what it needs in oil.. so I don't know why my gauge shows "0"

most likley an oil pressure sending unit going bad.
If not, then your oil pressure is horribly low, and I would expect it to be tapping knocking right now.

I'm with bhuff on this one, had recent exsperince with the sending unit...i had zero oil pressure according to my gauge, mind u this was on my fresh 2.3T motor with a New oil pump!...replaced the sending unit (cake work!) and walah, the best oil pressure this stang has seen since 1987 I believe the wrench size is 15mm to remove it ...good luck
