I hit a small speed bump and when I did I heard a "ding" and a lght on my dsah, stating check guages, came on and I then noticed that the oil guage was not getting a reading. I change my oil as scheduled and I have oil now. After checking the oil, I started it up and the guage had a reading. After a couple of hours, I drove it and had no further problems. What could this mean? one frined said the oil pump another said a loose connection to the oil sending unit? are either of these things likley?

Check the wire and connection and if engine OK sound fine
change the sending unit
spend the extra $ and get it from dealer
good luck let me know
