Because you accelerated. The engine speed changed, so the oil pressure changed. As long as it never drops below about 10 psi, it's fine.

Why does the oil gauge on my 2002 sequoia move back and forth from low to high?
your oil pump or your gauge is going out
Oil gauge moves up when i accelerate jeep grand Cherokee 1994?
If you have 10 lbs of oil pressure per 1000 rpms, your fine.
Why does the oil pressure in a 73 nova decrease when you accelerate and increase when you let off the gas you have a gauge and a light both work not sure gauge is accurate?
It should do just the opposite. I would check that gauge.
Is an oil gauge supposed to go up when you accelerate and back down at idle?
Found out this can be cause by a faulty oil pressure switch best known as oil pressure sending unit
Why the oil pressure gauge don't move its possible that the oil pump is bad or maybe a blown fuse is an Isuzu rodeo 1995?
try changing your oil sending unit first there is no fuse for your oil gauge drive safe
Tapping nose and oil gauge don't move?
Check the oil level, if it is full, you got problems, don't drive it.
Why do your oil pressure gage move from high to low when in gear?
It is possibly the sending unit or a defective gauge.
What is the function of the oil gauge in a car?
The oil gauge shows the oil's temperature. The oil pressure gauge monitors the oil pressure for your viewing pleasure.
On my 2000 Chevy silverado Why does the oil gauge increase when you accelerate?
This is normal. It will decrease at idle conditions and when it is at normal operating temp. Higher rpm means more oil that needs to be pumped through the engine to keep it lubed up.
What should a Chevy Avalanche oil pressure gauge read?
40 on idle up to 60 while on the move.
Why does 1994 Buick Lesabre oil pressure gauge go up and down?
The oil pump supplies the oil to the engine bearings where it is forced from one to the other. That is what creates the oil pressure. The pressure is transmitted to the gauge by way of a sending unit. You need a mechanical gauge to see what the true pressure is so as to determine if the sending unit is bad. A defective oil filter relief valve will cause a pressure fluctuation. The pressure will increase from an idle as you accelerate. You will need to check and see what normal operating pressure is and at what RPM.
How can you move faster and starts with ac?
accelerate
