It is normal. It does that on mine all the time. If it goes above 3/4 then I would worry, or below 1/4 I would be totally concerned. Just to alleviate any worries, check your oil level. If it is within limits, then you are fine.

I agree that's fine. More rpm's, more oil pressure. My wife's '99 Silverado is the same way. As long as it doesn't drop to zero, you are ok.
