Default Oil pressure and Oil viscosity

On my sbf 302 the oil pressure on 850 rpm idling is 60 lbs. Driving on 2000 rpm it shows 70 lbs.
Oil Temperatur 180°F. No oil cooler.
Oil brand: Castrol Edge 10-60.

Has the higher oil viscosity influence to the idle oil presure?
Would it be better to change at a lower viscosity like Castrol Edge 5-40?

Winter temperatures in my area are approx 45°F. Sommer temperatures up to 100°F.

Suggestions welcome!

Rico
