Engine light came on just as I was pulling into my driveway. Gave me the p0521 code. Checked my idle oil pressure and it was 30 psi and the gauge went up gradually when revving the engine. Is it actually my oil pressure sensor?

When was your last oil change? If recent, which oil and filter did they use?

What's your sticker say for milege between oil changes. Personally ii don't run my hemi's past 8,000 km's between oil changes,as the hemi has oiling issues,and the last thing you want to do is stretch the oil changes out to far

Let us know if this fixes it, is your oil filter spun glass, blend, or paper? If it is paper it could be stiff and bypass not working correctly. See ricks sweet dual filter set up, one filter can easily fail but a dial system prevents that especially if one is a filter with a good bypass. Thanks for posting, if this does fix this should be a sticky.
