If the engine isn't showing any signs of obvious lubrication distress, like noise or severely burned/blackened oil, then the gauge is probably DOA. Your mileage isn't that high so if it has been reasonably well taken care of, it shouldn't be worn out. Replace the sending unit, they frequently fail and are fairly cheap.
