I had a chebby that the oil pressure gauge would read 0 if it was a little low.
It wasn't catastrophic or anything. Just needed a top up.

and that's how i decided to do a main bearing roll-in on a 30 year old truck while the engine is still in the thing.

If it's a ford then don't worry. The sensor went bad. If not prolly the oil pump. Not expensive to pay to get done and not too hard to do yourself.

I work on chevy's consistently with about 2 quarts of oil in them. Never had the oil pressure gauge reading anything other than normal.
Fuck I had a 90's dodge 2500 gasser that we drained 3/4 of one quart out of and the oil pressure gauge read normal. How low are you running your engine?

As long as the oil pressure never gets low it’s allgood. The hardest part is convincing the WOF guy that the auto ignition temperature for motor oil is around the same as when steel starts to glow. I haven’t seen the turbos on a z (at 15psi) glow while doing skids let alone one on stock boost just driven in weekends
Yeah shut up I’ll fix it eventually
Jack King
Well turns out the gauge wasn't working. Smacked the dash and it works again. Nice

Wonder if oil pressure sender suddenly stopped working.. or suddenly started working.

Your sending unit is fucked, that's all.
John Fisher
It actually looked worse than even that. No pictures, sadly.
Samuel Myers
Did you make it to the beer store? If so, I don't see an issue
Christopher Martin
Meh. Unless you’ve got a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Chances are it’s a bad sensor.
Logan Hall
Mfw my 3800 series ii runs higher oil pressure at idle than my friend’s turbo subdue does at wot.
Evan Sanders
This is true with a lot of cars now-a-days. My F150 was the same..the Oil Pressure gauge was essentially worthless.
