Question oil pressure

Had a quick ? about the oil pressure gauge. Is it normal for my 05's oil pressure gauge go to the first notch in the green at idle. The truck has 200 miles on it right now, is this just a new truck thing?

NORMAL as can be. Once warmed up it can drop to about 20 at idle. Yes perfectly NORMAL.
Actually it not a real gauge anyway. DC just put it there to apeasse us customers. It will indicate about mid range as long as pressure is above 6psi
