Oil Pressure

Today was the longest time I have had my car running. Up until now
(other than a few block drive 2 weeks ago) all I have done is idle in
the driveway. At idle the oil pressure has been a pretty consistant 45
at 800 RPM, it would go to about 75 at 3500 RPM.

Today I drove it about 1 mile and idled for about 10 minutes. When I
was done, I noticed that at 800 RPM idle, the OP was just over 25. When
I go to about 3500 RPM the OP would go to about 65-70..
Why the change and does this mean I have problems with the engine.
