Oil pressure is determined by oil viscosity. Oil viscosity is determined by oil temperature. Your oil pressure is a reasonably accurate indication of oil temperature. With multi-vis oils, the relationship is not going to be linear, but it will be repeatable. Prepend "All other things being equal" to those statements.
