I have a problem after you drive the car for a while when the water temp goes up normal and engine gets warm the oil guage drops to 0 only if you turn the car the steering wheel. Today I was setting in the parking lot with car running and put the car in drive. I set there and turned the steering wheel if I turn the steering wheel either way the deeper I turn it the more the guage will drop from normal to zero. Then if I put the steering wheel back straight it goes right back up to normal again. Do you have any ideal what this might be. We have changed the oil pump and sending unit.

The only thing I can think of is to start checking wiring. The pump is mechanically driven, so start checking to see if there is anything getting pinched.
