Two questions:
What is your coolant temp?
What is your base idle speed?
Most of your numbers look fine. Hot idle is a bit low. Do not go to heavier oil as cure. It’s counterintuitive.
With your shorter trips, I would increase oil change frequency. I don’t like leaving combustion byproducts in there that long. I run Shell T6 full synthetic in 5W-40 with no issues and good oil pressure in all conditions.
Adding 50 base idle RPM may bring up that low number at idle.
Synthetics are more viscosity stable through varying temp ranges.
