When crusing at 65 mph approx 2000-2100 rpm I noticed my oil gauge starting to lose pressure way down towards the low end of gauge, let off gas and pressure went back towards normal. Accelerate pressure rises more, start to cruise pressure starts to drop. At approx 45 mph approx 1500 rpm no problems noticed. Also no problems at idle. Any Ideas. BTW 3.3

Try testing the pressure with a gauge, or a sending unit first. I am sure you have checked the oil level. There are specs at certain RPM's that must be tested to be sure. ok, sir
