The stock gauge is worse than the old indicator lights. If the pressure is above some number (maybe around 9 or 10 psi) it will sit the needle somewhere in the middle of the gauge. If the pressure goes below that number, the needle will stay to the left. Any fluctuation on these gauges is probably due to electrical interference like resistance in a poor connection, a faulty sender or gauge.
Too bad the pressure sender port is so hard to get to. Can't get at it with the oil filter removed? I don't know where any other such ports are on the engine.
