Sorry guess I didn't explain it well enough. All the info about viscosity and temp. I know. What I am experiencing is the oil pressure increasing as I am unloading the engine at highway speeds then it drops as I load the engine. For example, If I am going up a slight hill and I have to put a little more gas to it (not down shifting) the oil pressure drop about 5 psi, but then when I am going down the hill and let off the gas it rises about 5psi. Speed and RPM stay pretty much the same. It changes when I put on or take off a little bit of a load.

Hope this is a better explanation.
