Lots of folks have.

It may or may not be anything to be concerned over. It depends on the condition of the engine, the idle speed, the oil pump, the engine oil temperature, the oil filter, and the weight of the oil being used.

The gauge is probably accurate. What's causing the low idle oil pressure may or may not be something that requires attention.

There is no "normal" idle oil pressure, which is why the factories, all of them, publish oil pressure at a specified rpm -40pis@2,000 rpm, for example.

There are too many variables that influence oil pressure at idle and some of them are not indicators of a problem.
This thread, so far...
