Oil Pressure problem

I just had the oil changed last Friday and I drove it and the oil pressure would fluctuate between 90-125 psi. My dad took it for me and had it done so I don't know if it was pegging out before they changed the oil. What would cause this?

There is a "tech tip" to replace the sensor:https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=246&TopicID=1
