The oil pressure sender is a common failure. If you replace it and clean it of oil it should read correctly again.

It also sounds as though your confused to see the needle move. The oil pressure does change with the rpm. It should rise and fall with corresponding throttle use.
You can also clean gunk off the oil pressure senders connection spade. Most of the time that is enough and you won't have to replace the whole sending unit.

Curious... What do you mean by "and clean it of oil" ?
