On the first flight of the day, my oil pressure is always ample and the needle is solid. Often times, after being shut down for awhile and then taking off again, the oil pressure needle will oscillate. It stays in the green, but it will oscillate for the entire flight. Same power settings as before, temps the same as before, everything feels and sounds normal as before. Plenty of oil in the sump.
Any idea what would cause the oscillation?
