oil pressure changes with rpm. it can also change depending upon the viscosity of the oil you have in the engine. if your engine is cold your oil pressure will prob be a little higher. older vehicles with high mileage will sometimes run thicker 50 grade motor oil to help with the oil pressure because of all the wear in the engine. if its still in the normal on the gauge its prob ok. might want to check the oil and see if its up to the right level. if you have no oil pressure thats when you have a problem.
