Oil gets thinner when its hot. Use a slightly higher viscosity.

1996 Honda Passport with a 3.2 L Isuku engine Has only about 15 lbs of oil pressure and then drops when it warms up Thinking it is the oil pump but dont know where its located?
The oil pump is in the oil pan. It will be at the end of a tube (pick up tube). It will also havea screen on the bottom of it. You have to pull the engine to repair this.
Can a bad oil filter make you loose pressure as engine warms up?
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.

if i remember correctly when you first crank the engine the oil pressure should be around 60psi. after it warms up about 40psi.
Why would a 1994 Dodge van 250 3.9L sometimes have good oil pressure and go low after engine warms?
Bad oil pressure sending unit? Try replacing with a mechanical gauge Excessive engine wear? Do a compression test
What causes the Check Oil light to come on and the oil pressure to drop when the engine warms up on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am?
If the main and/or rod bearings are worn, the oil pressure can't be maintained after the oil warms up and thins out. You might be able to get a little more life out of the engine by switching to a heavier weight engine oil. It is possible also that just the oil pump has worn and can't produce enough pressure at idle. Very often, though, if the pump is worn, so are the bearings, and vice-versa.

be careful while radiator cap is off!! remove radiator cap, start engine, watch for flow of water as the engine warms. temp gauge is a goog indicator.
Why when truck warms up oil pressure goes down and to zero at idle but good pressure when cold?
If you have the correct weight oil in the engine, it sounds like the engine may be worn. If you haven't checked the oil pressure with a manual gauge (vs the dash gauge) that is a good place to start to verify that it is not a gauge/sensor problem.
