My oil pressure guage moves back and forth from a very high point to a very low point when the engine is on as if the oil pump is going bad. I change the oil and the oil filter hoping that this would clear it up put it still acts this way. My next best guess is maybe the oil strainer at the bottom of the engine base pan is clogged but hey what do you think
