The oil pressure on these trucks goes up and down as you drive. At idle it can get pretty low after the engine has some miles on it. I use a quart of Lucas Oil Stabilizer to replace one quart of oil at oil change. This seems to help all the way around. My 98 has 275,000 miles.

What causes oil pressure to drop when idling on 98 suburban?
The oil is hot and the rpm's are low. When you first start up the internal rotating parts are colder and tighter then at operating temp which will drive the oil pressure up, as the engine gets to operating temp the gaps around the internal rotating parts change due to temperature, causing oil pressure to drop at an idle. Most people never notice this due to having warning lights instead of gauges.
