Default 5.0 Oil Pressure Questions...

So my 5.0 is running the factory oil pressure gauge and I keep a kinda paranoid eye on it..

At cold start it runs about 3/4 of the way up the gauge, looks great. The problem comes up when it gets hot and sits at idle it can drop to about 1/4 on the gauge. Now since the gauge has no damn numbers at all I have no idea how unhealthy that it...

Is that typical for a 5.0? It's running 10w30 right now... it should be perfect right?

Any cons to running a straight 30 next oil change?
