This may or may not be the problem but it is worth checking. If you have
the original oil filter setup, there is a right way and wrong way to get the
spring and various washers in place. I always put it back together exactly
the way it came apart when I first got the car. Oil pressure always seemed
on the low side. Kicked the parts and got them mixed up one day and looked
at the manual to get the sequence right. Oil pressure jumped up 10 lbs!
