Don't panic about low oil pressure before informing yourself.  The hot idle
problem is pretty well known.  See:

Make sure you're driving 20W50 oil and a genuine VW (rebadged Mann or
Mahle) filter.  The Bus Depot has them:

Oil Filter, 83-91 Vanagon, Genuine Mann/Mahle, Minimum Purchase of 4 $4.29 $9.00 070 115
