Good evening,
The best way to tell is to check the actual oil pressure with a gauge.
You remove the oil sender unit and insert the gauge and measure the pressure. At idle you should 30-35 pounds and at 1200 you should have 45-60 pounds.
I attached the location for you. You can rent a tester at a parts store for the test.
