Curious to know if anyone else's oil pressure (factory gauge ) fluctuates mine typically stays around 40 when driving but when my car is idling sometimes it drops below 40 so my question is . Is it safe for the oil pressure to fluctuate like that ? I just put a new oil pump in the motor

Fluctuation when going from idle to driving is normal. How low is yours dropping? Mine drops to 20-22 after letting it warm up to OT and driving it, mine is worn bearings I'm pretty sure.
