Low Oil Pressure?

Low Oil Pressure?
Hey guys, I noticed after the truck warms up my oil pressure gauge (factory) goes almost down to the first red line. Theres 2 red lines, first being 0psi and second being 10psi. Now I know the rule of thumb is 10psi for every 1k rpm. So at idle, 700 im at 12psi. and on throttle im back up to near 35psi. Was wondering if this is normal. My last truck i dont recall it doing this. When its cold it stays up to 35psi, till the truck gets over 140 then its starts slowly dropping when the truck gets warmer.
Thanks guys.

ohh and the truck has 119k miles on it.

You can't reley on the factory gauge it's just a glorified idiot light! If you wanna really know what's going on your gonna have to get a real gauge hooked up to a sender in the block. Unlike the factory one that's hooked to the ECM and sends the gauge a "fake" what you wanna see based on temp and rpm input.
