15 PSI at 1800 rpms?!?!?! Yikes! Ive got like 40 PSI ....... and at idle
its at 15-20. Well, one of 2 things will cause this problem. Bad oil
pump, or the oil is simply too thin. Since you say it happens when the
oil is warm, then id suspect the oil is the problem. Try going up a
thickness is viscosity and see what it does. 
HTH!
