Don't rely on the cars electronic pressure gauge for accurate readings - get the system checked using a mechanical gauge....
A low oil pressure @ idle is not too problematic as long as you have the correct pressure at + 3,000 rpm at normal engine running temperatures.

Thicker oil is not the answer if the bearing clearances are too large. It just gives a false sense of hope. Thicker oil or not, if the bearings are loose, they will pund themselves apart in no time.

I'm battling the same issue also. I'm leaning to the oil pump in the sump with the pick up.
