you should be reading somewhere around 20-30psi at idle and around 80psi cruising.
if it's lower than that, i'd probably start by pulling the pan. have a look at the oil pick up and make sure it isn't clogged with debris. it's a good place to start, because next up is the oil pump, in which the pan needs to be removed anyways. if there is scarring on the pump housing, pump itself, or damage to the pump rotors, replace it. if not, there may be an issue with bearing clearances or clogged passages
