my oil gauge will be fine till i drive it for about half hour or so then when i come to a red light for a bit it will start dinging saying check gauges. (oil gauge will be in the red) and then step on the gas and its fine tilll i come to another stop sign/light......... help, just put oil in it too

Could be a bad oil pressure sending unit.

Mine does something similar, but not as bad. When your oil gets hot, it gets thinner, and pressure at idle gets lower. Three posibilities: bad sender (maybe, not so in my case), worn bearings (most likely, I believe this is my problem), or worn oil pump (not as likely).

I suggest you get a mechanical gage on there ASAP to see if your pressure is really that low. If it is, run some thicker oil (I'm running 15W40 at the moment, IIRC). It will keep the pressure higher, but it will not make the problem go away. It might buy you some time.

If the mechanical gage shows higher pressure, get a new sender. They are easy and cheap.

While this could be the gauge, the typical failure we've seen would be for the gauge to peg at 120psi when they go bad.

With the issue being experienced, I'd suggest a mechancial gauge as well to double check the true pressure.

You mention "adding" oil recently. When was the last oil change and with what type/viscosity of oil?

That'* the big question. Along with what brand of filter is on the car?

oil change... i dont really know :? haha ill check when i get home hopefully, but knowing my sister... which had it before me... probably not in a long time

How long have you had the car Tanner?

Time to change the oil and filter. Like TODAY.

ive only had the car about six months but out of the six months i drove it maybe 2 months and not even that much........... i get my license friday hahaha long story on why i dont have it yet but long one short i saved three hundred dollars by skipping out of drivers ed ..................................... last oil change i have no clue when it was
