Hopefully you have a bad gauge.  But that wouldn't explain the buzzer going
off.  Still, I would try a different gauge just to be sure.

New filter, oil is 20w50 NAPA, oil level is slightly less than 1/2 on the
stick. Pressure does rise off idle. Not to sure if oil cooler is working or
how to check it out. It was 20 out during the 80 mile trip back an forth
from the farm. Could there be an oil pump problem on the new 2.2 engine? The
oil pump pressure was tested by Noah when the rear seal started to leak and
he replaced the seal. Then the trouble with the light/ buzzer syndrome
started.
