Workhorse 8.1L Low Oil Pressure
When I am going up a hill, I am getting a Low Oil Pressure warning. I would appreciate any ideas on why this is happening and thanks.

THe advice above is good. But incomplete
Suspect list
Low oil LEVEL (Pump sucking air)
Bad Oil Sensor (These already covered)
Dirty oil filter (how long since last change)
Oil past end of life (Likewise)
Worn bearings and such in engine allowing oil to escape too easily (major overhaul, This is more popular in Ford engines than Chevy and one of the reason I"m not a Ford Fan. there are more).
Worn Rings (Likewise major overhaul)
Worn Oil Pump (Not as major)
ANd the ever popular Loose Bolts or screws.
