This is a longshot, but worth mentioning....
I was once doing some work on my instrument panel and I forgot to re-connect
the oil line to the oil pressure gauge. When I started the engine I
obviously had the all-time great oil flood...luckily the carpet was old.
However, after that episode my oil pressure readings were about 10 - 15 lbs
higher than before and they didn't jump around nearly as much. Any chance
you need to bleed some sludge out of your oil gauge line?
