I noticed today while driving that every now and then it seems like my oil pressure gauge was marginaly waving back and fourth, not just raising and falling with acceleratin but waving like liquid swashing back and fourth. Anyone out there know what this mean is something wrong with my gauge or my oil pressure or am i to picky when it comes to stuff like this, anyone know?

oil sloshing won't effect the gauge unless you suck up air in which case the pressure will drop to zero or near it

Look into your oil fill and verify that you have oil turning.

It sounds like you have a faulty oil sending unit would be my guess.
