Oil Pressure Sensor Dash Gauge probably is the issue. Although I think on my 90' I have the same readings with the idle half way and hot near 65 or 70.....I know I replaced that Oil Pressure Sensor Dash Gauge one time on another 90' (the high oil pressure was pinned at 80) and the problem was cured.
