This could be the sensor but the proper way to test it is install an oil pressure gauge and monitor what the pressure actually is. However, there is a good chance it is the sensor because unless the oil pump is failing the oil pressure normally doesn't fluctuate very much. Because of this, I would understand if we just when ahead and replaced it to see if that solved the issue.

Let me know if you have questions and we can go from there.
