My 2013 Silverado has good oil pressure until it get to 210 temp around 50 to 60 psi then drops to 20 psi at idle I changed the oil pick up tube and o ring sending unit and screen put 10w30 oil in it removed valve covers to check for stuck lifters have not changed the oil pump yet I just would like to have some advice before I do the lifters do have a rattling sound reason I checked for stuck lifters and I have no check engine light on and low oil pressure light has never come on

The 20psi at idle is well within the oil pressure spec of the engine.

 

Those engine can idle between 15-25psi, have a cruising oil pressure of 35-40 and have a heavy/full throttle oil pressure of 50-60psi.

 

Some oil filters can cause a lower idle oil pressure than others but the pressure you are seeing is not a problem currently.
