why does it dance?
I just sold my 90 RS (v8) and picked up a 91 RS (v6). The oil gauge likes to dance, (or act like its having a seizure), why is it doing this, is it beause both cars have 150,000+ miles on them or is it just a camaro thing; or something else?

Re: why does it dance?
uh, be advised, after mine started to dance at 140K, i lost #7 bearing shortly thereafter. Now my FUEL gauge has danced since I got the car!
