Engine Mechanical problem
2008 Nissan 350Z 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive 22,000 miles

My oil pressure gauge has begun fluctuating while driving, up when accelerating, down when decelerating. This is first time, why would this happen?

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge,if normal replace the oil pressure switch.If abnormal could mean oil pump and/or engine bearing.
