Default What is the GM spec for oil pressure @ temp?

2010 A6 GS, LS3, M1 5w 30.

I've read about the 10psi/1k rpm guideline that is generally used. Also heard spec is lower for higher temps (presumably above 212F) but did not find the data for any temp.

At the oil temps I run (270 to 280-F) I use Mobil 1 0W40 to get higher oil pressure at high load & RPM. 2006 M6 LS2

Lots of videos with oil temp, pressure, and RPM logged here:

Sorry to high Jack but what system are you using to log oil pressure and temp?
