An engine can lose oil pressure due to several factors, including low oil levels, oil leaks, or a failing oil pump. Additionally, a clogged oil filter can restrict oil flow, leading to pressure drops. Worn engine components, such as bearings or rings, can also contribute to decreased pressure by allowing oil to escape from the system. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to prevent these issues.
