Default Coolant temp impact on oil pressure

I know it obviously effects it I'll run 50-60psi cruising while the car is warming up, then the pressure slowly goes down to 30psi cruising. The (stock) temp guage will read normal temps soon after driving but it obviously gets even warmer after say 10 mins of driving. wondering if you guys with 2-2.5" thick aluminum rads noticed an increase in oil pressure. I am boosted if it makes a difference, I am talking 4k shifts though no panty rippers.

OIl pressure and water temp are no related whatsoever man.

What you are seeing is the oil getting thinner as it gets warmer. It doesn't care what the water is doing.
