My 2005 nissan armada has suddenly started loosing oil pressure. gauge goes all the way to left making the oil lite come on(praying it is not oil pump) could it be the strainer or one of the hoses goint to the oil cooler or could the cooler be bad......need help in alabama
Assuming the crankcase is full of oil, I doubt the cooler would cause a drop in pressure. Only a small percentage of oil flows thru the cooler.
It could be the pump or strainer, but could also be worn bearings.
The first thing you should do is have the pressure checked with a mechanical gauge to make sure your electric gauge is correct.

no,,, fluctuations mean =low oil pressure,oil level low,oil old or too thin viscotly,oil pump loosing or not develloping the correct pressure
pressure release valve spring weakened

Sounds like an electrical problem, make sure the ground leads to the engine are good and the battery terminals are clean. It might just be a bad connection in the wiring harness try jiggling the connections to see if it makes the gauges jump when it is running.

SOURCE: have a 1986 nissan 300zx V6 non turbo wont start,
a oil gauge reading maybe delayed until car starts and builds good oil press.Did you check for spark
was car running good before this happened? Do you have a rpm reading when cranking car?
