I tried coming up with oil pressure specs for you to no avail....What you are describing sounds okay and perfectly normal, other than the oil pressure needle 'bouncing'. Probably, just the guage. But, to be sure, you can connect a manual guage where the oil pressure sending unit is and take pressure readings hot & cold, @ idle, and @ high rpms just to be sure.
