You need to actually check the oil pressure to confirm it that is low-could be the pressure sending unit is failing or the oil pump/worn engine bearings/clogged screen/sludge
As for stalling-could be the computer sensing the low oil pressure and shutting it down. Unless the oil pressure sending unit is tied into the fuel pump circuit like GM vehicles-
