The gauge is fine, however the sending unit is prone to having problems. Usually, simply cleaning it is enough, but sometimes they do fail.

Have you cleaned the sending unit? It's located under the oil filter.

Just use something to remove dirt and oil. Make sure the connector is clean, may a little sanding on it.
