Bad oil pressure sensor. Guaranteed. It's like $10 for the part.

I would change the sensor cause is cheap and I would def put at least 10/40 in her. Look for shiny stuff on the oil when you change it. If it happens again take it to the shop and drop the oil pan. Hopefully your shop can open up the oil filter to take a look first.

If You have the intake mani support it could be. It's on the driver side.
