It should not be feathering or moving around.
If it is a electric oil pressure gauge.
Time to put a manual test oil pressure gauge on it and find the real pressure.
If good steady pressure on a manual test gauge check the oil pressure sending unit.

it should not flicker around on its own. It will however, move in relation to engine speed (when you press the gas pedal).

20 - 80 is normal on a 1997.
