Sending unit is messed up.. The lower RPM's in drive or reverse can cause the sensor to read a low oil situtation. Check your RPM's and see if it might be a little low but more than likly it's the sender unit. Put a manuel gauge on it and check the pressure at idle and above idle also to see if the presure rises in conjunction with the engine rpm's. not sure about the reading for idle pressure but I would think anything around 35 lbs. should be fine at idle. Call the dealer and ask the service department. They should know. Someone here will surely have the readings..
