yes it's normal
all cars with a mechanical oil pump does this, it's controlled by engine rpms so the faster the engine goes the faster the pump spins |

and in the middle doesn't necessarily mean it's got the right pressure, the engine can operate in a range depending upon rpms and load on the pump due to oil viscosity
