Some lorries have low oil pressure for no reason at all. It is hard to diagnose a problem like this with out seeing the vehicle. Try changing the oil filter. If you have a big mileage, then you have a big problem, in my experience it is usually the glide bearings on the crankshaft. Try this web page www.lorry-lkw-camion.com

in my experience volvo's run a low pressure on gauge if your confident that iol is gettin to top area of engine ie well lubricated not to much worry..presume no iol light flashing..i gather by model its not to old what mileage has it
