Default Get an oil pressure gauge. Pop out the oil pressure switch, screw in gauge...measure pressure.
I believe the Snap-On gauge set I have was a few hundred bucks and came with adapters for practically any car's oil pressure switch. So I suspect if you head over to Napa or Autozone (or maybe even Ebay) you can find a similar gauge for a lot less.

Cheers,
