I'm sure it's possible...
You're asking if your temps are related to the pressures, so, you obviously need to figure out the temps and think about oil weights, if you think the pump was installed right.

I had a buddy that also runs an SR his oil pump died on him in the middle of a sweeper (this summer) had his gopro on and his gauge ended up reading 0 after a while and he caught it too late. Oil pumps are mechanically driven but it is a part that can fail i don't know why ppl assume they never fail even if you never seen one fail lol
i don't have an oil temp gauge only oil pressure but i'd imagine maybe temps got high enough to thin out the oil to cause the pressure to drop to 8-9psi that is IF the oil pump isn't going out
