does your oil temp gauge do this?

I've owned my Scirocco for about two years now and haven't noticed this problem until recently.  My oil temp gauge is funky:
 
-when you shut the engine off but leave the ignition on(turn off switch back on immediately), it shows about 2-3C less than before.
 
-when I use the turn signals the needle bounces a bit.
 
-when I turn on the parking lights it reads about 1C higher, headlights bring that up to 3C higher, and brights make it 5C higher(so with all on it is 5C higher than with all off).
 
could this be in any relation to why my oil temps have been about 10C higher than usualy lately?
