Low oil pressure at hot idle

Low oil pressure at hot idle
2015 gt3 F-motor 37k miles running 300v 0w-40. 1300 miles on the oil
Anyone had this issue? Oil pressure seems ok until the car hits 190f on oil temp. When driving all is good. At a stop pressure drops as low as 2-6 psi.
I had the red flashing CEL. to pull over safely but as soon as I put into throttle things get back to normal. Could it just be a sensor or am I looking at worn bearings and major issues?
should I change oil and see if it replicates or just take straight to dealer? I’m out of warranty for this motor. Car has a rebuilt title. I ordered 8100 excess gen 2 5w40 to replace the 300v.

I would think you'd want around 15psi at idle warm. Hard to say whether you have just a bad pressure sender or something more serious.

That is very low. I don't think I've seen less than 20 psi on on hot oil with 5w50.
It's either a bad sensor, sheared oil, or mechanical problems. 300V is prettty shear stable, but even their 0w40 is pretty thin.
I would start with swaping the oil pressure sensor.
