oil pressure change is normal.
Think about it,when the engine revs higher,if the pressure stayed the same it wold not get proper lubrication...say BOOM.

Get an OEM thermostat..any others are just crap(search that,I kid you not).

So the thermostats sold at auto zone and Napa auto parts are no good
