    I noticed a swing on the oil pressure gauge recently - from normal to
    low.

    I though that I might be low on oil, but on checking, it is at the
    usual level (full).

    The temperature of the oil is normal.

    On going uphill or downhill, the pressure is normal. On level ground
    the pressure is normal.

    Can I assume that these occasional swings in the oil pressure reading
    from normal to low is simply due to the fact that the oil pump is
    showing signs of age.

    Thanks

    Possibly oil pressure relief valve sticking?

    Hi,

    Presumably if this is the fault, then occasional sticking should not
    be a problem.
