Always the first thing to do is to check the instruments! LOW oil pressure from normal wear is rare indeed. In truth all we really need is a light on the dash for oil pressure. The gauge does very little for us, as the pump usually either works full capacity or not at all! If the thing runs normally it is a great bet that the pump is operating normally too.
