My 2020 Raptor has only 2800 km on it. Runs perfect. Recent (precautionary) first oil change with correct 5w30. No warning lights. No engine trouble.

On cruise control at around 130 km/h (2000 rpm) the oil pressure sits steady at 1.6 bar (about 23 psi, which seems low) but every 30-45 seconds it goes up to approx 4.5 bar (65 psi) for a few seconds, then just as quickly back down to 1.6. This cycle occurs again and again as I drive at steady throttle. Weird. As the cruise control is on and the road is straight and flat, there is no change in throttle or rpm.

Could it be the oil pressure sensor? Or do they all do that?
