Hi there. There is no way to tell if the oil pressure is really low or your sending unit or gauge is bad. Instead of towing it, you may want to have a mechanic come to you and diagnose the oil pressure issue for you. If you are still under a factory or extended warranty then by all means have them tow it and have them fix it for you. I would suggest not driving it for fear you may cause permanent damage to the engine.
