What kind of drain intervals are you doing? You should not notice much loss in 4 or 5k. If you are doing 10k you will.

Finally replaced the oil at 100,000 miles. Did it immediately after arriving at home to see it there was any foam in the hot oil. There was no foam whatsoever. The stabilizer did assist with cold starts since it's getting into the winter months in PA. It also extended the life of the oil. Normally the oil pressure gauge starts to decrease on startup position around 7000 miles but now it stays constant the full 10000.

Don't exactly get what you mean by the oil pressure gauge, it's what they call a dummy gauge, whenever the oil pressure is within a certain range the needle stays at the same position, whenever the value is outside the range the needle either reads high or low, there is no inbetween?

Or do you have an aftermarket gauge fitted?

From the manual:

² Engine Oil Pressure Message - The instrument
cluster circuitry restricts the oil pressure gauge
needle operation in order to provide readings that
are consistent with customer expectations. Each time
the cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM
indicating the engine oil pressure is above about 41
kPa (6 psi) the cluster holds the gauge needle at a
point near the middle increment within the normal
range on the gauge scale.
² Engine Oil Pressure Low Message - Each
time the cluster receives a message from the PCM or
8J - 32 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DR
ODOMETER (Continued)
ECM indicating the engine oil pressure is below
about 41 kPa (6 psi), the gauge needle is moved to
the graduation at the far left end of the gauge scale,
the check gauges indicator is illuminated, and a single
chime tone is generated. The gauge needle
remains at the left end of the gauge scale and the
check gauges indicator remains illuminated until the
cluster receives a message from the PCM or ECM
indicating that the engine oil pressure is above about
41 kPa (6 psi), or until the ignition switch is turned
to the Off position, whichever occurs first. The cluster
will only turn the check gauges indicator on in
response to an engine oil pressure low message if the
engine speed message is greater than zero.

Sir, i'm writing this with best of humor in mind i promise. But if he doesn't have it figured out by now, he probably wont. That post is 5 1/2 years old.
