Default Oil PSI Meter Fluctuating

It started happening after I got my oil change. The meter flucuates from around 40 when I idle, as I gas it, it'll move up to 120, and continues repetedly. Just a bit worried, since I never seen that happen before, or maybe never noticed until after my oil change. This happening normal?

Oil level gauge is suppose to fluctuate when you gas it.

But it shouldnt keep going to 120. I have read a lot of people using mobile 1 run really high on the pressure.
