Every one post your current oil pressure with what weight and kind of oil, at idle in the morning and at idle when its fully warmed up.

95 5.0
​​250k+ miles
15w40 Rotella
cold idle 45 psi
hot idle 25 psi
cold driving 50 psi
hot driving 40 psi

I quit using 10w30 when hot idle got below 12 psi
​​​​​fairly certain it wasn't treated the best before I got it, seeing as it had the factory installed spark plugs in it at 155k miles along with a serp belt that was almost totally gone (assuming it was original)
