Some reasons for low oil pressure is sludge build up, bad oil, clogged filter (Despite by-pass valve), bad oil pump.
A major reason is the main bearing are going bad. That means rebuild.
A possible temporary remedy, besides changing oil and filter is to replace oil pump with a heavier duty one.
The oil pan needs to be dropped to access most oil pumps. That can be easy on some older vehicles but can be very difficult on others.
Another possible solution, but risky, is to flush the engine oil. Only do this at a professional shop that specializes in this along with their other services.

Can Lucas oil treatment help oil pressure?
Running an additive like Lucas or a thicker oil will increase oil pressure to some degree. Keep in mind that if you have low oil pressure there is a problem with the engine. Most likely worn bearings causing too much clearance. A thicker oil can help take up this clearance and give you back some oil pressure, but it doesn't change the fact that you have a wear problem in the engine and nothing will fix that except a rebuild.
