Why don't you change the oil and the filter and eliminate the possibility? If this car has the oil filter stem with o-rings, change those as well.
Oil pressure is measured via an oil feed line from oil filter housing area to the gauge. Max -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

When I first bought the car it moved around a bit, about a week later it started the staying pegged thing. Last night it was moving around quite a bit again. So I am a little worried since I don't have an implicit understanding of exactly what that gauge is trying to convey.
