stumbling a little bit

driving around today and my car started stumbling, at idle the rpms were jumping below 500, and the oil pressure was jumping around between 20 and 40, need an oil change so i checked it and it seems fine just a lil brown but def not crazy dark, but i think the dipstick was loose, would that really cause it to jump around soo much? started the car back up and everything seems to be running fine, just a little rough at times but i think its just cuz i need to change the oil, also i did put gas in today so maybe i got something bad? cars just over 80k miles, anything i should check out tune up wise or not? thanks

Sounds like a vacuum line or something. Can't remember if your vehicle has an EGR. If it does, it could be sticking. Are you getting an SES light? If so, go to advance or autozone and get it scanned. Its free.
