Check the pressure with a mechanical gauge. If it is still low, remove the oil pan and make sure the pick-up screen is clean. As far as the pressure, crank, cam, rod... bearings can cause low pressure, but usually you would be able to hear a knock or a ticking sound. Check it with a mechanical gauge to make sure the wiring to the interior gauge is isn't getting a bad reading.
