Default Intro and Oil Pressure issues

Hey all!! I purchased my 6spd Formula in 1999 and LOVE IT! Starting to have minor issues with it now. Needs a new oxy sensor and Im wondering whats going on with my oil pressure now. It normally ran around 60psi and it now hovers around 40psi and fluctuates as Im accelerating/decelerating. I switched to synthetic oil about 2yrs ago but havent had pressure issues until about a year ago, I dont really drive it as much as I used to because of the oil pressure fluctuation. Any suggestions??

I have a 99 camaro and oil pressure is 40-50 cruising and 50-60 under hard accelaration.. Seems ok to me?? So are you saying yours never fluctuated brfore?? The pressure will always be lower at idle/and light load situations..

Its normal for the guage to bounce around a little bit. Oil thins out alot when it gets warm. Now when it starts dropping way down to say 5 psi at idle and 15 psi and wot.. then you have something to worry about
