Oil pressure?

If you actually had no oil pressure, it would not take long at all to know for sure.
My guess is the gauge or the wires to it. I don't like digital gauges for that reason. Old school pressure gauges are nice.

Yeah I would say check the plug on the oil sender. May just need to bend the tabs (or contacts) a little. I had to to that on mine. And it sometimes will get loose on me. And like NismoPick said earlier. Could also be your oil sending unit itself. Oh...go ahead and check your fuse too. There is a fuse that runs those 3 gauges. Good luck man.

I meant electric, not digital. Sorry.
Yeah, I knew it was in the gauges to the side, not the digital cluster.
I meant, an actual pressure gauge that itself uses the pressure to move the needle.
I have gauge sets that I can plug into anything, in a ton of different ranges up to 20,000 psi.. When I have a doubt, I plug it in.
Sorry, I reread the post, and I didn't make it clear at all.
