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.
The oil gauge shows the oil's temperature. The oil pressure gauge monitors the oil pressure for your viewing pleasure.

No.No.No.No.
Most oil pressure gauges operate by a varying voltage. The oil pressure changes the resistance in the oil sensor, causing the gauge to change readings.
If your oil pressure gauge is high you have to much oil in your engine. Overfilling your engine can result in you blowing out your gaskets.
Measures the engine oil pressure and sends this information to the oil pressure gauge.
It's a gauge which displays the measured pressure of oil running through the system. Pretty self explanatory.
