Why do so many people trust that stock gauge??? With any oil pressure discrepancy, you must first verify with a mechanical gauge that the problem actually exists.

verify the problem first, its very unlikely that is a correct reading but you dont want to take a chance... it is located on the drivers side all the way behind the intake, you will have to move your brake booster vacuum hose to feel it.. they suck.. just so you know.. i unbolted my tranny mount and put a jack under it to give me a little room but you dont get much....

Also check the underhood grounds starting with the one on the battery.

Hence the "Omit Item #2."
Inconsistent readings from electrical gauges ares due to bad sensors/sending units, poor electrical grounds and wiring issues more often than not.
Step one (after at least casual inspection of the wiring) is to put on a mechanical guage to determine if you actually have a pressure problem or you are just chasing an electrical problem.
