oil pressure problem! Low pressure!
 
Ok so when the car starts it goes straight to 60psi. . . . stays there till shes warm then i give her a few revs and let it idle again. BAM like just above ZERO! Any ideas? It comes back up after i rev a lil bit but its kinda scaring me?

If it were zero, your engine would be toast. The oil pressure sensor is a common failure item.

On my 4th one now! I asked about a year ago so I'll ask again (but won't hold my breath). Has anyone found an aftermarket or substitute pressure sensor that works with the stock gauge? Thanks.

yeah! the factory sensor,
$83.00 from Mallory Mazda, last 80, 000 miles or so

As I said, on my 4th one at 104,000!

I would get an aftermarket gauge for reference. The stock sender is garbage.
