After I changed oil to full synthetic T6 and attempted to tighten sending unit taped to oil filter housing I noticed that at idle my oil pressure gauge needle won't stay still, it's vibrating violently between 7 and 15 psi, it's all good wile under acceleration and this happens only at idle, why?
 
Check the wire that connects to the sensor on the bottom of the oil filter/pump assembly. There should be two connections around there. Make sure they're clean and connected firmly.
