Default Oil Pressure, does gauge constantly move around for anyone?

This may be a stupid question, sorry if it is.

I noticed while driving my girls Z that the Oil Pressure gauge moves with acceleration.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Yes, it is normal.

Higher RPM = more oil pump rotation and higher pressure
It is also higher when the engine is cold than at the same RPM when engine is hot.
