3.6L DOHC Oil pressure

I am concerned about the change in oil pressure. It is at 5 on the gauge when starting cold, then drops down to 1.5 on the gauge after about a half-hour. 90K miles. Didn't do this when mileage was less than 80K (started out at 5, then dropped to about 3.5). Should I be scheduling a rebuild, or is this common, or is this an indication of something else?

Did you recently change your oil? Is oil level OK? What kind of oil/viscosity? What were the oil temperatures when you took the pressure readings? Are you burning any oil? Any weird whistling sounds? Excessive vacuum at the oil fill cap? Are you losing any coolant? Other possible changes in behavior between your 80k and 90k thresholds?
