>I looked at my TR manuals that said that oil pressure should vary between
30lbs and 70lbs. Should I be worried that oil pressure drops to 20 lbs at
hot idle? Should I worry that hot at idle oil pressure droped to 30lbs
from
50lbs previously? Or is this simple a result of clean oil? Should I be
using a heavier weight of motor oil?

That's pretty good oil pressure considering that you are using 10W-30. If
you replaced it with 20W-50 it would probably be more like 40 PSI at hot
idle.
