If your gauge isnt the problem you have a real one! Those gauges with the long thin plastic tubes are not accurate with a long tube. Since your seeing the oil light this suggests problems. GEX is supposed to be good but this is why I ALWAYS build my own... too many disaster stories. You shouold never see any kind of an oil light with a new engine. At 66K My hottest and lowest Idle is nowhere near light. BTW the weber progressive is a poor choice and may be diluting your oil by running too rich.. something to check out too. Sorry for the bad news but hopefully your still in the warrantee.
