    I've got a problem with my oil pressure.. when my engine becames hot, and I am to a light, my oil gauge shows me "0", goes up for a second, return to 0 and do this little loop until I move...

    what is the problem? My friend say that it is the oil filter..
    My engine got what it needs in oil.. so I don't know why my gauge shows "0"

    most likley an oil pressure sending unit going bad.
    If not, then your oil pressure is horribly low, and I would expect it to be tapping knocking right now.
