Does the car have EVIC? If so, you can read the actual oil pressure from the display....press and hold the two lower inner steering wheel buttons for about 5 seconds to display the "hidden menu". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0MQHuqnQJg

It is common for the sending unit to go bad, but as stated above, verify it with a mechanical gauge if possible.

I would change out the OP sending unit first, then change the oil and the filter. Last year we were getting strange readings on the gauge in our PT, we checked the op sending unit and found it was leaking oil, so we replaced the sending unit, and cleaned up the sending unit connecter. About a month or so ago, the op would be fine on a first run, any distance, but if you shut the car off, then restarted it before it got stone cold, there wasn't any oil pressure. Happened on every restart if the motor wasn't stone cold. It was never low on oil, and the motor never made any sounds like a motor with low op would. One day it happened when my wife was driving, she drove it home 30 miles with the gauge reading 0 and the light on. Not a sound out of the motor, no indication the oil pressure was low. We replaced the sending unit again (the new one was leaking already), with a new switch that cost 2x what the first one cost, and cleaned up the electrical connector again. So far, everything is great! If it happens again, its getting a real mechanical oil pressure gauge.
