first I would throw on a mechanical guage, then go from there.
I had an old truck given to me because the owner moved and couldnt fix the oil pressure problems. I found out the guy never changed the oil and it wound up clogging the oil pickup tube with crap.
other things that can cause this problem is a scored pump not picking up enough oil, or worn berings not retaning enough oil. if your mechanical guage says the same thing i would up the thickness of the oil to something like 20w50 and will work as a temp fix for the scored pump or worn berings.
so start with the mechanical guage, then start looking into at least a partial tear down.
and if you just bought the motor i would try to contact the seller to see if your gettin screwed.
