Just so that you know.

You have an engine coolant temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge. You do NOT have an oil temperature gauge.

Low oil pressure, even for a short time, is serious and is a certain sign of major engine failure. However, as Mike J. pointed out, it could be just a faulty pressure sensor.
