If oil is old it can sludge up and clog the system. If the pressure guage reads low I would worry a little. First I would drain the oil and replace with ATF. Do not drive the car just let the ATF circulate for about 30 mins. If you need to up the idle to maintain enough pressure go ahead. After 30 min drain the ATF and replace with cheap oil and new filter. If pressure does not increase post back there may be other problems. Then after 300-500 miles change oil and filter with something of better qualitity.

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you
