The oil pump to block mounting is probably leaking air. So when the
oil is lower or after the filter change it can't get enough suction
to pull the oil up. (Had this once). Pull the oil pan and remove the
oil pump. Seal it with anerobic sealer where it mounts to the block.
While I was in there I would also buy a new oil pump (only about $35)
and put a set of new rod bearings in ($15) as both are pretty cheap
insurance and the bearings may have suffered a bit if this problem
has existed for a while.
