Could low engine oil pressure be a sign that the Oil Pressure Switch needs attention on 2005 Volkswagen Passat?

Low engine oil pressure could indicate the need for rebuilding because the "low oil pressure" indicator is not activated until the low oil pressure is dangerously low. A mechanical oil pressure gauge, used with a tachometer, gives a good evaluation. If pressure is very low, then it could be a sign of worn bearings or oil pump problems.
