I have a recollection of someone saying that if you have not replaced the
small rubber rings on the post that fits inside your oil filter that will
lead to fluctuation in this guage, as the old rings allow oil past them.
Not exactly sure, perhaps others on the list could confirm/deny this ?
Hope this helps,
