When I have been driving a long time, usually, my oil pressure will begin to plummet at idle. It either goes really low or hits 0 and the check guages light will come on. When I start to drive, the pressure goes back up and the light goes away. Any ideas here?

my old lt1 had that problem, i replaced the stock pump with a hv melling and i used thicker oil, 20w50 or 15w40 whatever i could get. it still runs to this day in another camaro.
