On oe gauge ignition on will bring oil level up, it will drop whilst turning the engine over and then it'll read your oil pressure whilst running.

On cold you should see around 4-5 on throttle.3 on idle
When warm it it'll be around 3-4 on throttle and about 2 when idle.

Don't forget that the oe gauge isn't the best at giving you acurate readings.
