My oil Pressure gauge is flucuating up and down.

At and idle the pressure is low & as you speed up the pressure gets higher

Hi:

It's normal for it to increase when the RPMs are increased and decrease at an idle. However, it needs to maintain a minimum pressure. How low does it get? If there is an indicator on the gauge that tells when it's too low are you in that range?
