Yeah, that's the way Dash Command or even Torque Pro displays the oil sensor.
Also these are cheap OBD11 Apps while they work good you can't rely on the info displayed like a real OBD11 Scanner.
Even a True OBD11 scanner will not display oil pressure or even that the PCM is releasing that info.
My $300 Actron Scanner does not say anything about oil

I use Torque Pro (paid version) for Androids. I think it more customizable.
And I can't swear to it but I think the oil pressure is grayed out in the Torque Pro App, meaning no info being sent from the PCM.

You could get an adapter and place it between the oil switch sending unit and run a true oil pressure gauge.
I believe JDM does this for their three gauge drivers side pillar display.

then I replaced probe "lambda" from the driver's side.

Just to correct you, Lambda is the combine Air/Fuel ratio readings from the Fuel TMPS, Long and Short (which come from the front O2 sensors) and the MAF, there is a formula for this.
Ideal Lambda is normally 1 out of the chart from .7 to 1.6

The probe you replaced is the O2 sensor

It's quite likely that the actual oil pressure sensor/switch is on its way out; had to replace it on my old Cobra when it was exhibiting similar symptoms. I was also running an aftermarket oil pressure gauge at the time so verifying proper oil psi for the engine was not an issue. It was a ~$10 part IIRC.

Is there another oil pressure sensor in the engine? Because when i disconnect the plug, it shows the message but still runs fine. It must be another one wich puts the engine in limp mode when oil pressure is to low.
Is the sensor on the oil filter housing just a switch or does it give the actual pressure?

I read in a similar tread about someone had the same problem until he replaced the battery. I had a dead battery a couple times. Could this be an option?

I did a quick look for info on what happens when oil light goes on.
I can't find any references on the subject.
So I may be wrong about going into Limp Mode. If I find something I'll post it up.

As for a another sensor for oil, nope.

A weak and or bad cell in the battery will cause all kinds stuff to act funny.
You may want to bring your battery in for a Load Test.
We know that if the battery is below 12.3 volts you run into errors trying to load Tunes.

...I can't bring it to a dealer because there is as good as no service for this truck in europe.

Hi jef,

I recommend reaching out to my colleagues at Ford Belgium. Give them a call at +32 (0) 2 482 26 26; I know they'll want to do what they can to assist.

I just called ford belgium. They adviced me to go to my nearest dealer. This will be the last option if i can't get it fixed by myself.
Ordered an oil pressure gauge to read out the actual oil pressure.
