As long as you're _sure_ there's nothing really wrong... Oil level good?
Viscosity? Oil pump delivering good pressure?  That last one can be a bit
more difficult to check...either check with another mechanical pressure
gauge, or pull the pan and measure the gear lash on the pump.  Assuming
everything else checks out, it may be sender/'computer' related.  The
sender could be bad, or it's wiring is cruddy.  The oil pressure 'computer'
located inside/behind the speedometer could be freaking out.  Start with
the easy stuff I suppose, after you rule out real problems.  We'll try and
help as you check into it more.
