oil level could be low, could be a problem with the oil pump, junk in the oil sump clogging up the pickup, or an oil filter with a nonfunctional bypass valve. Could be a lot of things, basically. Easiest/cheapest thing to do (if it hasn't been done recently) is to just change the oil and filter, see what happens.
