Exclamation 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.

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