Oil pressure ? Just purchased a 97 WS6 that has aftermarket digital gauges. At idle cold start holds 40psi. After warming up holds 20-25 then randomly goes to 0-7-17 etc. motor has 116k runs great no noise. Holds 40psi at 1500rpms while driving. Should I mark this off as a fault electronic sending unit or bad gauge?

Picking up new gauge and sending unit. If pressure is still low car will be getting dropped off to mechanic and turned from a 350 to a 402. Phone call has already been made lol ... thinking it's the sending unit since one day it was reading all over the place on a cold start then now reads 35-40 to suddenly dropping big time at a stop when hot, but not always
