Default Oil pressure question

So, I've only had my camaro back for a few days now and i've been working out the kinks. . . .i was just curious if this was a bad thing or not

- that or if i was just parinoid. . .

but, when i first start the car and it warms up the oil pressure is in the middle like normal i put it in gear and go. . .after a few minutes 10-15 of driving and the car was able to get up to 180 which is normal tempature. . .the oil pressure drops from the middle down to 20ish the mark between the middle and red. . .only when i stop at stop signs lights ect. . . .then i proceed to drive again and it goes back up to the middle again and maintains it without moving what so ever. . .

anyways any input this good bad shouldn't worrie? - it's been awhile and i dont belive the formula ever did it to me. . .
