Default 2000 camero ss low oil pressure

So my 2000 camero ss starts up fine. There’s no ticking or grinding or any weird noises. The oil pressure is fine u til I come to a stop and then it drops to about 6. Once I start driving the pressure comes back up and everything is good again. We’ve replaced the sensor, the pump, the o rings, everything. Help. I can’t figure out what the problem is.

Keep an eye on the idle range, If the RPMs drop to low the oil pressure will drop.
How does the oil look? Is it thinned out?

Put a mechanical gauge on it to verify the readings as the stock one isn't known for accuracy and the cluster is 18 years old.
