This just happened to me just 2-3 weeks ago. Same MTX oil press/temp gauge. Freaked me out. The engine was still running fine, no signs of anything abnormal except the pressure readings. the Sender ended up breaking(dont know how, been running it for 1.5 years) spewing oil out into my engine bay. fortunately I noticed a block or two from home and wasn't far away from home.

It happened relatively quick. Idk how long you've been driving it around with the weird readings. but it started spewing oil maybe 15 minutes after weird readings. If its not spewing oil i'd double checked your contacts and grounding connectings.

Edit: I bought a new sender from Innovate for 20 dollars and its back to normal.... I dont really feel that great about it since the first one failed so i'm contemplating buying a completely different pressure gauge.
