Narrative:

Operating at FL350, at leveloff, oil pressure on #2 engine was below limits. Airline maintenance and dispatcher were contacted and aircraft was diverted to cvg. Emergency was declared and engine was shut down per operating procedures. We were cleared direct to cvg and an uneventful landing was made. After having fire crews look over the aircraft, we taxied to the gate. I believe the problem was a malfunctioning #2 oil pressure gauge. We had no other indications, however, #2 oil quantity was a deferred item, so as the operating manual directed, the engine was shut down.
