ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!

I was having a similar problem except my oil pressure gauge would read low pressure when I first started the engine. I took it to the dealer as it was still under warranty and they replaced the oil pressure sending unit and it cleared right up. If it was a hill that you are able to go 65mph on I doubt it was steep enough to keep the oil from going into the pump. I would look into the oil pressure sending unit it is like a $12 part.
