It simply means you have the dynamic oil pressure system and possibly one of
the two senders is bad or your oil is to light.  The one that usually causes
the problem is the high pressure sender that is located near the oil
pump/filter.  However the low pressure one located at one of the heads can
also cause the problem.

Too light weight of oil when it gets hot can thin way down and the system
doesn�t get enough pressure from that as well.
