Just had my oil changed for the 1st time ever. I always have done it myself but busted my shoulder and couldn't do it this time. The oil pressure gauge is quickly bouncing between 30 and 60 psi, when I accelerate. I never noticed it do this before, is it something to be concerned about? Don't know if it did this prior to the change.

it may be the sending unit-check all wires, lines, et cetera. Some vehicles have flutuating oil pressure all the time; mine is very low at rest and at 80psi when i'm moving at 40mph.
