Was in laughlin nevada this last week. The daily temp was 115 everyday
(way freaking too hot) My car normally runs 180-190 here in orange county when the temp is in the 80's. Also my oil pressure is higher. But in the desert it was at idle 30 and maybe 40 ish while driving. My temps on my car were always 230-240. Fans on etc. So when the motor gets really hot does it reduce the oil pressure? Just curious.

Yes. You should have already noticed that your oil pressure gets lower as your car goes from cold to operating temp, so that trend continues as is reaches hotter temperatures as well.
