oil pressure is a function of oil viscosity and engine speed.

higher oil temperatures = lower oil viscosity and resulting oil pressures.

higher engine speed = higher oil pressures.

When hot, look for around 10psi/1000 rpms. Anything less than that could be a problem. More than that usually isn't an issue.

HTH.
