Default Oil Pressure Question!

Guys--

I just put 5w30 Mobil 1 in the LS1.. I noticed at idle, the oil guage goes up and down "pulsates". It does not go into the danger zone, just drops a little then comes back up. "only at idle"

When I accelerate, it goes up and stays up..Any thing to worry about?

How far does it drop down below the 40/middle marker?

Are you using any oil?

It does not drop down far below the 40/middle marker. Maybe at the lowest half of the 40/middle marker then right back up, again and again. No oil is being used at all, ever after 4k..not a drop..

I noticed it after doing the oil change. Mabe the perolator oil filter sucks?? lol
