Low oil pressure on Defi BF

Like the title says, I have a really low oil pressure reading on my defi BF gauge. I have the sensor mounted in the head where many others from this board have mounted it. So now for the issue, it reads as low as 1 or 0 at idle after driving for 20-30 minutes. The stock oil pressure warning light has never indicated a problem with low oil pressure. As rpm increases, oil pressure increases. So i find it hard to believe I have a bad oil pump.
My car currently has 15,400 miles on the ODO. Is it possible the sending unit for the defi gauge is causing the problem? Any test I could do to find the source of the problem would be of great help!

John

Mine gets to about 0.5 to 0.6 bar when warmed up. Not all the way to 0 though. Peace.

1 bar would be 14 some odd PSI, so you're fine.

It's the imperial BF gauge, which reads in psi, I should have mentioned that earlier.
