Default Oil Guage ?

Is this normal for idling, second pic is when I am at 3K RPM.

I just changed my oil about 100 miles ago, and I also checked again today. Dipstick says full.

Looks about like mine.

As far as the oil dipstick goes... that is the biggest POS that I have ever seen. It is functionally worthless. Someone like JWT or Stillen needs to design a functional dipstick for our cars. God only knows how much oil you really have when you check with the stock one.
