It COULD, as the oil is thinner and would flow passed the relief valve faster. In case I missed it, how does the pressure look when you drop the hammer to pass someone on the highway?

Usually goes up to like 60 ish.

How much oil do you have to add every week and month?
Need to recalibrate that answer I just had my rear main done, she’s still full of oil. And the oil pressure after the rear main repair remains the same.
(Still leaking from front main, timing cover, & pan gasket.) not nearly as bad though she don’t even stop on the ground. The rear main would just puke oil out.

Also I noticed the filter I use seems to have a BIG play in my oil pressure. They put some ***** filter on and now I’m idling at 20. With the WIX XP I was idling between 20 and 40 and would shoot above 40 almost to 60 under mild acceleration.

But before the rear main seal repair I probably have to add oil once or twice a week. Just driving 30 minutes back and forth to work a day.
