In the heat of the summer with the HVAC running and so on, I'm seeing 19 psi at idle and around 35-38 while driving. This is with over 300k miles on the engine. Minimum required to operate is 6 psi and if it ever gets that low, time to take it apart and do some repairs.

Obviously this is possible if at some RPM much higher than idle ... like around 5000~6000 RPM. 80 psi is indication the oil pump is in pressure relief.

I suggest you pull your codes for the problems you are having. That will tell us a lot more.
