My oil was on the low end of the dipstick but I can't imagine that is enough to cause that. Oil temps never went beyond 220-230 range. Ambient temp was about 60, highest coolant temp I saw was 208. Pulling oil pressure from the factory sensor location on the front of the left side of the timing cover. Was using RP 5W-30. Going to 300V on my next oil change.
If you were on steep curves, maybe the oil pump couldn't find as much oil to grab hold of .....??
