Between what ranges? Some variation is normal especialy when hot but depends on how much. When very hot mine idles just above 1 but hits 4 by 1500 revs. Stone cold its 4 at idle |

mine goes nuts.. sometimes it will go all the way from the bottom to the top..other times its fine.. or it could jsut start flicking up and down like mad.
the oil light will come on and off sometimes too...

Check the earthing on the motor although this shouldnt affect the oil light. I would also be fitting a mechanical gauge very quickly to verify that oil is going where its meant to. Just do a temp mount and screw it in in place of the current sensor.
good luck

Just looked at the electrical diagram It looks like theres a voltage reducer in the circuit. Ive had one of these fail on an old car causing similar results. Dont ask where is it or what does it look like I dont know

castigan if your oil light is coming on and off as well it sort of tells me that you have and issue with your oil pressure itself and your guages are working fine,think its time to check oil pump and hopefully its that or it may be blocked gugeons or bearings starting to fail,my guess is the oil pump is failing,get it checked asap
