is there oil in it?

Yeah
Bad oil pump or low oil..
290k probably has most of them miles on that engine so burning oil I’d wager
Shaking at idle could be a burnt wire, bad fuel pump, plugged filter, list goes on.
There’s a lot more info needed and some trouble shooting required.

It also wastes around 2 quart per month
thank you

Yes almost 2 quart per month becausr it also leaks

Verify with another gauge that you get no pressure. How is the pressure at speed? (1500rpm+)

It's fine but when it comes to a stop, gauge drops to 0 and it shakes bad

Probably a bit of extra bearing wear so tolerances aren't what they used to be.

Not a bad idea to try a thicker oil to help cushion the gap between the bearings. If you're running 5w-30, try 10w-30 or even 10w-40.

In my truck with its motor, I like to run 15w-50

try thicker oil and start saving for a new motor.

I use 10w 40 high mileage oil
