Default Sudden Rise On Oil Pressure Gauge

So just noticed today that my oil gauge is suddenly a bit higher then usual on my dash. Its resting at the L part of Normal on the gauge. Occasionally going back to the middle between the r and the m. I am about due for an oil change but i dont think that would cause it to rise. Car isnt running any different then normal.

You can't trust the stock gauge as is. Time to upgrade.
