But it changed mine has stayed the same for 70k miles. Not sure how accurate, but change would make me want to know why.

Read it slow. Mouth the words. Stop and pause until you understand, then move to next sentence.
Not sure what is so difficult.

I can't say if it's "normal" but I can give 2 data points.
My 07 96 and my wife's 09 103 both react about the same. With 15-50 mobil 1 running hi way hot they will drop to pretty much 0 when we stop at the top of an off ramp. No oil lights and a blip on the throttle brings it right up.
With no change in engine noise it doesn't concern me.

It works with hydraulic pressure, the pressure plate gets weak with time, use and heat.

To check the oil pressure, you just temporarily put a manual pressure gauge in the spot where your oil pressure sending unit is... take the readings and then reinstall the OEM oil pressure sending unit.
However with the no oil light when the pressure reads zero, and a smooth, quiet engine.... I'd just ride it... If it starts to make unusual noises, I'd investigate further..
