You need to find out why you have low oil pressure. Check the oil level first thing. If the oil level is ok, then check the oil pressure sending unit for a leak. You probably should just go ahead and replace it. If the oil pressure sending unit is ok, then have an oil pressure test run on the engine to see for sure if the oil pump is weak and needs replacing.

Good advice
