No, warn engine parts will cause loss of oil pressure as the engine warms up, due to expansion betweeen moving parts. Hot oil is thinner.

Change the filter and use a Motorcraft filter. Make sure the old filter gasket has not stuck to the mounting surface. If it still does this after changing filter, then it could be a faulty oil pressure sending unit, or another more serious problem such as a clogged oil pump screen. Do not allow the engine to run without oil pressure. Serious internal damage will occur.

Oil gets thinner when its hot. Use a slightly higher viscosity.
Your 5.3 shows low oil pressure at cold start up and gets higher as the engine warms?
You first need to remove the oil sending unit from engine and put a oil gauge in its place, so you can check oil pressure corectley. This way you can rule out the sending unit as being the problem. ----------------------------------------------------- In my case, it was bad oil filter. before ever thinking to change the oil pump, sensor or gauge, change your oil and filter, best to make it 'flushed' (2 oil change).
