I am paying close attention to this and similar threads for any suggestions - still at a loss of what to do. Maybe replace oil pump as a last resort?
I have a similar issue with oil pressure dropping to 0 at hot idle and basically the same as everyone else. The 2 differences for me is I never have over 40 psi even at cold start and I never reach 210* until I'm on the highway - even driving around town for 20 minutes in summer.
Oil pressure hovers around 18-20 at 2k RPM which seems to be okay. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit with a MOPAR replacement but there's been no change. I will try resetting the PCM by disconnection battery but I'm always nervous when it comes to electricity.
Symptoms:
Cold start ~40 psi
Warm idle ~20 psi
Hot idle (eventually gets to 210 on gauge) drops to ~8psi then 0 and Check Guages light
Pressure will increase while I give it gas 1k RPM but drop as soon as I let off
Warm/Hot idle just below 500 RPM which seems a bit low?
