Narrative:

Completed required checklists and received takeoff clearance. During takeoff roll I was the pilot not flying. I saw the #2 oil pressured dip below 40 psi; which activated the master warning light. I called for reject takeoff around 75 KTS; 18 KTS below V1. When the captain rejected; the oil pressure dropped to 0 psi for 2 seconds duration; then increased back to normal limitations for our taxi back to the gate; low oil pressure observed on the gauge; and the master warning light. The oil was left unchecked for a number of days; which resulted in a lower than normal oil quantity in both the #1 and #2 engines. Rejected takeoff; onsite maintenance filled oil to normal specs. Possibly have flight crews check for maintenance signatures that the oil levels have been checked. This aircraft had 2 or 3 days of numerous flights with no oil level inspection. Seems like this has become common this summer.
