Default oil pressure question!

Hey guys I have a quick question. What would cause the oil pressure gauge to read low? its at normal pressure all the time but like once a year when im driving and im on a red light the pressure guage will go more towards the low end. but when the light turns green and i start going again the pressure will go back to normal. any thoughts about this? i can see as the pressure guage needle goes down to low but once i start driving it makes its way back up to normal.

thanks

Change the PCV valve and change over to Fully Synthetic 10W-30.


Just a thought.

as long as its staying in the "normal" range (between the two has marks) i wouldnt really worry about it, mine wanders around in there based on how much throttle im giving it
