A week ago I went for about a 50 mile drive in near 80 degree weather.  My
startup oil pressure is about 50 and it is 70 at speed (hot) but when hot at
idle it will get down to 20-30.  Oil is 20W50 Castrol and I have not noticed
this condition before, can the oil pressure relief valve stick open and cause
this?  There are no noises or other indication of a problem.  Maybe just put a
piece of tape over the gauge!
