Is this low oil pressure???
I have an SS camaro with an LS3 engine thay has 99,000 miles I was doing some mildly hard driving in the canyons and this is my oil presure when i got to the top. I feel like this is too low for idle. Is my engine going out, how can i fix it if it is, or am i just trippin. When im at redline i get arround 4bar-4.5bar whitch i think is normal. The check engine light is for catless long tubes and no other issues.

That is low idle pressure.
A high volume pump is not the answer lol.

Minimum hot at 1000 rpm is 24psi(1.65 bar). What does it read at a 1000rpm?

I think he was making a distinction between flow and pressure. Your Melling 10355HV is both high volume and high pressure which is necessary because you have piston squirters.

The weather is definitely quite a bit warmer now, so that is working against oil viscosity for sure.

We don't know what the answer is unless he does more investigation. Oil pressure just doesn't drop that dramatically.
1 bar is around 14 psi which isn't acceptable on any LS engine. It's also an indication that he had a baseline from that other thread and it keeps getting lower. Telling him to mask it with a new oil pump just isn't the answer.
