Mine does that too. It stays near the top, pressure wise, but bounces 
around. The sending unit is also leaking a bit where it screws into the 
engine. The cure (for both items) is to replace the sending unit sometime 
when you change your oil. There is a sending unit on each side of the 
engine. I believe the passenger side one runs the gauge. (Ask your D parts 
supplier when your order your sending unit. You might want to replace both 
sending units at the same time. I think the other one is for the "idiot 
light.") You have to have the oil filter off anyway to get at it. So I'm 
told. I'm not due to change my oil just yet.
