Is your battery and alternater system up to snuff, our cars are known to act wierd when these are in failure mode. If you go to Advance Auto they can wheel a cart out to your car to check these out for you free.

I looked into this oil temp error once when a car I was looking at, had it.

The temp sensor is part of the low oil level sensor and is mounted on the side of the oil pan. I read that most of the time the problem was because of a bad wire or connection to the sensor. I'd check the wires at the connector and the connector itself for a bad connection.

My temp gauge was intermittently dropping to zero, I packed the connector at the sender with "Di-Electric grease" and it's working great.
It's nonconductive, and seals, packs, and lubricates..., Great stuff, especially on exterior connectors...
