Oil question.

So I got the oil pressure gauge in the car fully installed finally. Love seeing what I'm actually running. Now the question. Usually my oil pressure is perfectly fine sitting at idle of about 16 to 18 psi. However went for a showboating spin with a buddy of mine and we had it upto 130 mph for a good bit so I know the oil temps were up thinning it out. However when I got back to my apartment I saw that the idle pressure dropped down to about 10 to 12 psi. What oil should I run if wanting to see a oil pressure that would sit higher up at idle say at 15 to 20 psi even after some really hard running. I don't understand the whole oil rating system that well so I'm asking here.
Car is a 99 9-3 SE 5 speed. I run Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30.
