Time to time after first engine starting , oil pressure is 0.Needs to increase RPM and it is going to 6 atm. then after engine heating to 90C , dropping to 1 atm.

what engine is this on ?

no oil pressure usually means exactly that. oil pump fail or blocked pickup is the most common.

Don't run it until you've investigated or you'll cause more problems

maybe needs a genuine oil filter, some aftermarket ones do not have a non return valve inside. Without this it takes longer to reach normal pressure.

do you have to take the engine out to get at the oil pump ?

I've got the same problem.
Oil pressure gauge goes to max on ignition but goes to zero on turnover and running. There is plenty of oil in engine and oil splashing up dip stick when running. Could a sensor be u/s ?
anyone got any suggestions?

Oil will splash up the dipstick tube, this is not an indication of oil pressure. The hydraulic Tappets are one of the last things on the oil delivery side, if they run quiet, when the engine is hot, you have at least some oil pressure.*

*hydraulic Tappets are generally noisy when first starting, and when warming up in some cases, it is also not unusual for 1 or 2 to be a bit noisy even when warm, but if oil pressure is low all 10 will complain..
the other thing with the NG engine, is it has a vacuum pump which often sticks, when it does so, it apparently sounds like failing hyd Tappets.
So not a brilliant test in this case, but if you really want to know, replace the sensor, or rig up a pressure gauge.

Is it possible that the oil pressure gauge is wired up to the oil pressure switch on the block?
The fact that you have maximum oil pressure with the ignition on, but the engine not turning, suggests an electrical problem rather than an oil pressure problem.

There is a pressure sender for the gauge and pressure switch(es?) for the alarm. I think 16 is the sender, and 14 is a switch, not sure if there are 2 switches? Maybe Item 1?

That illustration is for a 5 cylinder.

16 is the gauge sender but is also a switch. 1 and 2 are the switches - high and low oil pressure. For cars which don't have an oil pressure gauge in the centre console, you'll have a switch (2).

14 is for oil temperature so unrelated.
