Oil Pressure
 
Hello, I have a 2000 4x4 4.3l. When I first start the blazer, my oil pressure gauge reads about 60 psi. Once the oil finally warms up it will drop down to 40 psi. However when the blazer is in idle, it will drop down to 20 psi but will jump back up to 40 once I step on the gas. Bad oil switch maybe? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Others should give their thoughts, but I think this is not out of the ordinary for the 4.3L and matches my experience.
