These come to mind in no particular order:
gauge sensor wiring (loose, blocked, or disco) pickup tube (low) oil level clogged oil return holes in head(s) Oil filter in bypass mode worn pump Does the pressure fluctuate only while at speed? If not, put a mechanical gauge on it and see what the pressure really is. |

It is electronic. Oil pumps are very predictable...
As oil heats, pressure drops. As RPMs change, pressure changes. Don't fret it. |
