Loss of oil pressure is bad.
Do you maintain the engine regularly... Oil changes, scheduled maintenance.
My Jeep is slowly loosing oil pressure and my mechanic said that he can no longer guarantee that the engine will last much longer.
My antifreeze is rotting the block from the inside out.
My pressure is usually 30-35 idle and 40-45 highway.
It's now 10-15 idle and 40 highway.
I'm not saying your engine is as bad as my jeeps but oil pressure is something you want to be consistent.
My Jeep has a low pressure cutoff. If the oil pressure drops below 5 psi. it shuts the engine off. I've found this out while doing left turns the oil sloshes away from the pump and the gauge dips. If it is a quart low the cutoff will shut me down.
There might be something similar in the Maxima.
