Re: oil pressure

It should not be feathering or moving around.
If it is a electric oil pressure gauge.
Time to put a manual test oil pressure gauge on it and find the real pressure.
If good steady pressure on a manual test gauge check the oil pressure sending unit.

Re: oil pressure

it should not flicker around on its own. It will however, move in relation to engine speed (when you press the gas pedal).

20 - 80 is normal on a 1997.
