I bought my truck about 3 months ago. I have not changed my oil yet. I am getting ready to this weekend. Level in engine always seems fine. My oil pressure when I come to a stop always drops to right below 30 on the gauge. Is this normal? When I'm driving its around 60. Is 28/30 low for idle?

GM service manual for an 02 lb7 states 14psi at idle and 42psi at 1800 rpm, you should be fine.
