Look to replacing all the engine bearings, this old girl is worn out.
You could turn off the oil light for a while by using a thicker grade of oil. If it calls for 5W30, then use 10W40 or 15W50.
You hook up a mechanical gauge and verify the pressure problem and just how bad it is. The Trailvoy platform has a pressure switch, not a sender. The ECM adjusts the pressure reading on the gauge based on engine RPM. In other words, a guesstimate not an actual pressure reading. Start with verifying the actual pressure readingsā¦

Right , verify the oil pressure . could be a worn oil pump with that mileage on it . Has it been burning any oil ?
