Good morning,
You need to have a manual oil pressure test done to verify that you have low oil pressure. The sensors sound like they are working.

OIL PRESSURE
At Curb Idle Speed* .................... 25 kPa (4 psi)
At 3000 rpm .................... 170 - 550 kPa (25 - 80 psi)
CAUTION:
*If pressure is "zero": at curb idle, do not run the engine at 3,000 RPMs.
This could be the oil pump itself failing. I attached the procedure for replacing the oil pump below. It is very involved as the front of the motor has to be stripped down of all components.
