If you REALLY want to know what is going on inside and what the conditions are then connect a mechanical gauge to the engine and see exactly what PSI you are and how long it takes to build pressure. Then you will know if you have an oil pump issue or a oil pressure sending unit issue
That's the very first thing I would do. Why dig into it when there is a possibility of the sending unit being bad. There should be an extra port around the oil filter you can use to add an aftermarket sensor. I would not drive it anymore just in case it is a sludge problem.
