No, warn engine parts will cause loss of oil pressure as the engine warms up, due to expansion betweeen moving parts. Hot oil is thinner.

Oil gets thinner when its hot. Use a slightly higher viscosity.


Why would your oil pressure drop at running temp on your Dodge Magnum rt?

This is normal as when the engine warms the viscosity of oil lessens, thus also reducing the oil pressure. On a cold start the oil pressure is on the high side, say reads at 75 at idle, then at operating temperature it can just read between 25 to 50 at idle speed, depending on which viscosity rating of the oil you use.

What causes the Check Oil light to come on and the oil pressure to drop when the engine warms up on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am?

If the main and/or rod bearings are worn, the oil pressure can't be maintained after the oil warms up and thins out. You might be able to get a little more life out of the engine by switching to a heavier weight engine oil. It is possible also that just the oil pump has worn and can't produce enough pressure at idle. Very often, though, if the pump is worn, so are the bearings, and vice-versa.
