I don't think it has to do with the oil because I just changed oil
(10/40) and filter.  This happened once prior to oil change.  When
ignition is on and engine not running the the oil gauge will show to
bars. When the engine is running the guage will fluctuate between 4 bar
and all the way to the right. This weekend I'll check the sender and if
that is not the problem I'll replace the filter and see if that does
it.  
Thanks for the help.
