Well, make sure the oil pressure sensor didn't decide to start leaking.

Took a look and didn't see anything around it.

Oil level looks fine.   Drove around town today seems to be at 30 PSI when moving, hair over 20 at idle.

I rarely get over 3000 RPMs

Mine is the all aluminum motor and runs in the low 20s in gear at idle once warmed up.  It's a little higher when the oil is new and drops a few psi over the course of 5K miles.  Been like this for the last 5 years, since we bought it.
