Low oil pressure can be due to many problems. A bad oil pump is first guess. A bad oil pressure sending unit could also be one. The engine oil level is below operating levels. Bad cam bearings could also affect oil pressure levels. The oil pump only provides the oil supply. The main, rod and cam bearings provide the pressure as the oil is squeezed past them.

What could cause low oil pressure in a Z24 Cavalier?

First, you need to install a mechanical gauge to insure that your oil pressure is low. You could have a bad oil pressure switch. If it shows that the pressure is low you will have internal problems. One of the biggest mistakes made is to assume that the oil pump is the problem. The oil pump is exactly what it says. It only pumps oil and the rod, main and cam bearing provide the pressure as the oil is forced By the bearings.
