I would install a new oil pressure sender unit - they are fairly generic and cost less than $10 (if you don't buy it from the dealer). You will need a deep well socket of the appropriate size (probably an inch/fraction size, despite being made in Europe for European cars) on about a six-inch ratchet extension to get to it, it's underneath the intake manifold on 1994+ cars. I have had to replace this sender on all three of my most recent cars, on my C900 twice (well, I did have it for 20 years). For $10 you will buy some piece of mind.
What kind of oil are you using and have you changed it lately? High-temperature viscosity will decrease with age/usage.
