Default Oil pressure bouncing

When at idle. it shows 1/4 and then once I step on it it shoots up a bit passed 60psi. My dads kinda freakin out. Saying I bought a piece of **** and what not.
Today I put in 2 quarts of mobil 1 full synthetic. thinking it would help.....nope

I tried looking on the forums, nothing from what I could find.
Or am I stupid and this is normal??
Please help. I want to sell it if there are any major problemsss

It's fine, they all do it. Hope you didn't overfill your engine oil though.

Just fine, all cars will do the same. Most cars don't really show what is really going on because people are stupid. The coolant temp on the Z is idiot style, from 130 to 230 it has the same needle position.

I don’t know much but my oil gage was fine when I had oil leak coming from the valve covers once I fixed it drove it to work I notice the oil pressure would kinda jump from 58psi to 64 psi around 3-4K rpm wich I never notice, now how is it normal? Your car does it and you data log it? How long has it been since it started doing it? Thanks for all the help btw
