Yeah. gotta start at the most obvious first. maybe your pump is going bad, causing low oil pressure?

Except I found out the bulb for my oil psi light was burned out after the pump went bad and I had to say bye bye to the two rods (1,4) that shot through the block.

Not necessarily milage, but driving style, regular oil changes, maintance........ect, all effect oil pump life.
