I had the same thing happen to my GQ in 2005 while on a trip to WA. Couldn't find anything wrong either.
So I disconnected the oil sender for about a year. After reconnection it has worked like a charm and I have done another 80,000km since them.
Cheers

Have you tried changing oil filter brands? Seems to be a bad batch of them out there at the mmoent. Good friends Iof
mine had exact;y ther same problems you are describing. Replaced both filters with a different brand and no problems since.
Cheap and simple option to look at first.
