Sounds like there is wear elsewhere causing the drop in oil pressure. I thicker oil will raise the pressure but could also further damage the engine.

Testimonial: "has new cam brgs rods an mains could the valving in the filter housing be worn im helping a freind an this is our first diesel overhaul done a couple dozen gas eng this is a horse of another color for shue"

High oil pressure on rebuild

Block has poorly bored oil galleys and needs to be replaced. Or the mount for the pump is bad or no relief valve operating. You will continue to burst seals and possibly the filter cannister if not addressed.

I recently done engine completely on my Toyota conquest 2e engine,but the oil pump isn't pumping the oil up.I've bought the new oil pump still no oil coming up.What must I do please help?

Did you prime the pump before installation? New pumps should be filled with some fluid before you install them, such as engine breakin lube.

Just had an engine rebuilt not getting oil pressure

you need to pre pressure a new /rebuilt engine so you get oil into all the galleries , connect an electric drill to the oil pump drive and spin for a good 3-4 minutes , connect a pressure gauge as well so you can see the pressure build up

1989 ford f-150

If the fuel pump(s) run while the pressure is falling, replace the fuel pressure regulator and (although I'm sure you've already done this), replace the fuel filter. If the fuel pumps appear to be turning off by themselves, replace the inertia (fuel cutoff) switch.

Low presure 300 psi to injectors,fuel presure though filters seems good but not enough to start my 2005 powerstroke 6 litre diesel (F 350 superduty)Help???

2006?? if so then its common rail with one high pressure pump ,the fuel through the filters is low pressure anyway ,then it goes into the high pressure pump that delivers the pressure to the injectors .If you dont know what your doing with this new piece of kit then refer to the dealer because it has a lot of fancy electronics controlled by encrypted software

2001 F350 7.3L Diesel won't start

I take it you have a crank no start issue, the fuel is injected by high pressure oil, no oil pressure no start, there are 2 oil pumps, low lube pressure and high injection control pressure (ICP) the injection system is hydraulic controls electric actuated fuel injection, if when you crank the engine over and the oil pressure guage goes up base pressure is ok, then its high pressure or the best thing I can say is pull codes and that can give me a good direction to send you in, there are many things that can cause that problem, if the fuel heater shorts out, the pcm and it are on the same 30amp circuit causin the same problem and still you would have proper fuel pressure readings.
