Every once in a while my gauge drops to 0. The first time I noticed this, I freaked out. I threw it into neutral and was about to shut it down when the needle shot back up. Hmm ...

BTW, it's hard to tell what the analog gauge is reading as the gauges are "non-linear."

I assume my problem is this sensor, and I've learned to live with its occasional 0 reading

Jerry made a good point about the "oil light." Since I don't see that, I assume I really have oil pressure even when the analog gauge shows 0 for a few seconds.
