The warning system only comes on when I am on longer trips on the interstate. I was wondering if it is the oil pressure sensor or the oil pump

You need to verify oil pressure with a manual gauge. On this particular vehicle, the oil pump is mounted EXTERNALLY, directly to where the oil filter is attached. Just slightly above that, is where the oil pressure sending unit is. Remove the connector to it, and ground it to see if the gauge goes all the way to the high indication to verify the circuit intact. If good, perform all the other tests mentioned in the above posts. Hope this helps.

With as many miles as a '94 would probably have on it , I'd guess that much of your oil is staying up in the rocker bays on top of the heads. The drain-back holes in the heads are likely filling or restricted by sludge so that the oil can't get back down to the oil pump as quickly as it used to.
P.S. This is bad for the pump! :-)=

Several things come to mind immediately, faulty oil pump, low oil,
too thin of oil or oil needing changed or it could be a faulty oil pressure switch.

Could be the oil pump, or it could be just the sensor that is sending a weak signal.

need to check oil pressure if it is low you need a engine, if it is okay it is a electrical problem ie a sensor, wire, or a dash problem.

I would say is the sensor, you should try change it.
