I am in Sacramento also, best thing I did was to run 5W50 also, I use Redline Oil, Porsche approve A40 oil.

Suggestion
admittedly, this is basically an unqualified choice on my part since if I listened to the experts, I would be running a different (lighter) oil.

Also note, reading blogs and forums from Europe, it appears much of the rest of the world is using 5w-50 in these cars already.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Seems low for fairly heavyweight oil. I don't know enough about oils to make any "declarations", but it definitely seems low. How long have you been using this oil? Did you notice similar behavior before the last change?
I have the same issue so switched to Motul 5w-50 Sport oil. Pressure
is up even when hot. Where I live (Sacramento CA area) it is often over 100F so after three years, decided that the 40�weogjt is too thin.
I bought it here

but I see it is $10 more
oer 5l jug than when I bought it last month. The oil is not
A40 approved however, I looked up the specs to compare to other �approved� oils and they appear better. I am not an oil expert but can read numbers and look up definitions. I picked what made sense to me rather than go off
of �advice�. Also note, reading blogs and forums from Europe, it appears much of the rest of the world is using 5w-50 in these cars already.

Something might be wrong.
Even though it�s 110F out, the engine coolant is still pretty cool (it�s probably well under 210F). So the oil shouldn�t be very hot if you are on the highway and you have a lot of air moving through the radiators.
I would start investigating the two relief valves, oil filter, sending unit, gauge. Worst case, drop the pan.
