I solved my problem by simply replacing the oil pressure sensor, I was told by a local service guy that it’s a pretty common part to fail. In following the K.I.S.S principal I decided to stop overthinking the problem and just eliminate a variable.
The part was less than $20 at Autozone but was a bit of a PITA to replace. You need a deep socket that will fit over the sensor but not so deep you can’t get the ratchet on it. It’s tight quarters in there. After the part was replaced I put another 10k on the Ex including several longer trips without any issues.
