I had to replace my oil pressure guage shortly after I got my car.

I had a problem with the oil pressure suddenly going to '0' and the accompanying verbal warning. A push on the accelerator jumped the pressure back up to normal.
The dealer replaced the MAF sensor explaining that a bad sensor gives very strange signals. It did solve the problem.

I have the same problem. Dealer said it was the programming in the instrument cluster and they updated it, but still have the problem.

That is normal. Worry if it is below 4 when above 3000 rpm.
