Default low oil pressure

ill be driving and when i give it gas the oil pressure will slowly go down until i let off the gas. when i bought the car the person put a dip stick tube that doesnt fit in there and will fall out while driving. could this be causing the drop in oil pressure? ive tryed to get a new dip stick but the ones at the parts store dont fit in. all they have is the after market ones. know where i can find a stock one?

Your best bet on a correct dipstick would be dealership.

You can get it to your local agency or contact a professional garage mechanic, they can help you out with this problem

I don't see how the dipstick would cause a low pressure situation when the oil pickup is submerged under 4+ quarts of oil. Could someone clarify this for me?
