Default Oil pressure drop

Alright. I have to 07Z. During first start in the morning. The Z idles about 2 thousandf or so correct? Well the thing is. When I put the clutch in, and run through the grears, The oil pressure starts to decline instantly. It goes down to about 1,200rpm. Is the oil actually running through because im running the gears? If im not completely clear on this. let me know. Im kinda hung over so.... yes. thanks for the help.

Abe

there is nothing to be worried about. that is perfectly normal. if you stepped on the gas and gave it a quick rev, the pressure should shoot upwards.

^+1. This is normal. No need for a ton of oil pressure when the car is idling.
