I was also seeing this pressure drop at high rpms and temps above 98C with 0w20. 5w30 cleared that right up. Cavitation is a destructive event, gouging micro grooves in the pump surfaces. Never saw any signs in my UOAs. Not saying it doesn't happen just think 0w20 drops viscosity enough where it no longer pumps effectively.
