First check the ground connections. Oil pressure gauge is not measuring pressure, it's measuring voltage, so it can be poor ground connection, problems in wiring, sender itself. If in doubt, go to some garage, where they can measure oil pressure in pure mechanical way. Also, listen to your car. If oil pump or crankshaft bearings are giving up - expierenced mechanics can tell this by the sound of the engine.
One more thing - is the oil itself OK ? I mean at least *w50 thick ?
