It’s pretty up to temp. I do recall before this oil change I was sitting at low 30s at idle and low 50s while driving.. I’ll keep an eye on it, it hit 59 earlier while driving.
Hot day today and just noticed my oil pressure is very low. Is this normal?
I’m used to seeing well above 40 psi.

Upper level of safe range. Exactly where it was after I changed the oil about a month ago.Still within operational range, but just in case, did you check your oil level?

FWIW, according to Jimmy07, the resident expert on all the electronics in these trucks the oil pressure displayed on the dash is not actually the oil pressure. It's a calculated value based on engine temp, RPM, and a few other sensors.
There was someone that shows a parts diagram showing an oil pressure sensors but pretty sure that's basically just a go/no go sensor and will only pop a code if you lose oil pressure all together.Wasn't there another person that showed it was actually a real sensor?

I found out a few years ago, when I had a Saab 9-7x as a beater to save miles on a lease. ( It's a Chevy Trailblazer, but with a much better interior.) All the gauge displays are computer generated. The computer sends the signals to the gauge, so it reads good, or bad. They just look better than idiot lights. I thought I had a problem, because my temp gauge quickly jumped to hot. I thought I over heated. I found out, if the temperature doesn't change withing the specified time parameter, it just shows it's over heating. It was just one random time that the warm time was out of parameter, and never happened again.Wasn't there another person that showed it was actually a real sensor?
Plenty of pressure at cruising speed.Gotcha, it could also just be a variation within the sensor itself. From 26 - 29 is barely anything. I know this is a recent change you didn't see before, but if you don't see any performance issues, leaks, etc. I would just keep an eye on it going forward, if it stays within range, I wouldn't worry about it.
