Oil pressure issue

My 02 Z06 is having oil pressure issues. I am not sure it is the sending unit which I had changed a few years ago. When it went out last time it just quit working, this time it is still reading just very low 8 psi. When engine is at 2000rpm oil psi 40+. As soon as I let off the throttle it returns to 8-9. And yes it has oil..........

Certain sending units are more prone to failure than others, I've read on the big forum people having the replacement crap out after a year or two. That being said I recall most failures indicate max pressure or zero 

 

Try to get an inspection mirror and see if the sending unit is leaking, that would be a good indicator and starting point. Otherwise, indicating pressure but very low, I'd be looking to install a mechanical gauge to get a reading on the oil pressure to know the real deal absolutely
