Default 1997 Dodge Ram problem

I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. 4WD. I believe the plenium is bad by the amount of oil my truck is eating, but my concern is that the oil preasure light is coming on. I took a pic at what preasure the lights coming on at. Is the preasure normal? This is at idle. Yes the cel is on because of misfires
Any help would be appreciated

Two things, either your gauge is faulty, or your oil pressure sensor is faulty. Hook up a known good mechanical gauge and see if the oil pressure is good. Above 30 psi is good.
