Oil Pressure gauge?

It displays the pressure that the oil pump is creating. Generally low oil pressure indicates that the main and/or rod bearings are worn. Many people misunderstand and think that the gauge is an indication of the conditon of the oil pump, but the simple reality is, oil pumps seldom fail and seldom wear enough to significantly lower the oil pressure. The oil pressure gauge is NOT a way to determine when you're low on oil. If that's your method, you're destroying the engine.
