Oil pressure more important than temperature?

Wouldn't you want the needle to reflect the actual pressure, even if it's bouncing? I think that's better than artificially smoothing it out.

Depends. My old gauge bounced like crazy and convinced me I'd blown the oil galley gaskets... ended up pulling the engine apart to replace them and they were as fine as the day they were installed lol

So then would there be another reason to cause unstable oil pressures aside from the galley gaskets? I'm assuming that the sensors and needle stepper motors are accurate and that the actual pressure is jumping around by whatever amount (about 5 PSI on mine). When I see it bounce I can always calm it down by paying more attention to my pedal usage, so I'm assuming it's an accurate reading. Given it's accurate I would definitely want to see it, vs having the gauge hide it from me.
