could be bad oil pump.. you may want to tear into your engine.
Could also be your oil pressure sensing unit or even your guage. Check the oil pressure with an actual guage before tearing into the engine... Only bad thing with that is if you have no oil pressure, the more you run it, the more you wear it out...

how are you measuring the oil pressure? with the stock gauge? if so, if may well be what Metallic_rock says - more than likely is the gauge or the sensing unit. Measure it with an actual gauge and that will give you the clue.

how about this, i pull one of the oil line out and nothing came out, and what i said before, too.i have a brand spanking new oil pump that cost me 155 bucks on mazdatrix plus i already tron the engine apart three times. is not the gauges is that theres no pressure going thru the sistem. and BTW i have a VDO oil pressure gauge that reads 20 psi and when it start warming up it start droping to 0- 5, i done everything that what i found on this forumses. i dont know what else to check other that the oil pick up tube
