302 lower ends wear. Its just a problem with them. Most of the time by 150k they're loose to the point of having little to no oil pressure. 10-35 isn't great but its not going to blow up tomorrow. Don't beat it, and consider picking up stuff for either a rebuild or at least a bearing job. The rule of thumb is 10 psi for every 1000 rpm, so keep it under 3500 and you'll be ok.

Well its true, they wear and lose oil pressure. Its still sufficient pressure for a moderately driven vehicle and not cause for panic. Not ideal, but its not going to spew connecting rods from it either.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
