As you know, oil is a serious thing. If you are handy with tools you can try to isolate the concern. Remove the fuse to the PCM (no spark or fuel) and remove the oil filter. Crank the engine 2x. Oil should be gushing out the filter adaptor.

If not, then it is between the pickup or oil pump. Drop the pan and get a new pump and clean the pickup.
If you do get oil, then your blockage is further up the oil galleries.

An option is to remove the oil pressure sending unit. Don't crank the engine much or you will cause further damage.
