You need to get a manual oil pressure gauge that reads LBS. per squire inch so you can read what the oil pressure is for sure. Then remove the oil sending unit from the engine and screew the oil pressure gauge in it's place and start the engine and read what it says.

I would give you the oil pressure SPECS. and tell you where the sending unit is, but you did not say what year are engine size and what it is in.
