Low Oil Pressure
 
While driving today i noticed that the oil pressure was a bit lower than normal. Was about 5 kg/cm2 instead of its normal 6 kg/cm2 at freeway speeds.
What is the main cause for loss of oil pressure & should i be concerned seeing it's only a small drop?

Car seemed to be running fine...

Cheers
