Recently when I start to slow down my check gauges light comes on and I notice that my oil pressure drops for a few seconds and then goes back up. I am not sure what could be causing this. I am just now due (3000 miles) for an oil change. Help Please.

Check the oil level if okay could be the oil pressure switch or the oil pump pressure relief valve sticking-or get serviced and see what happens-
