I think what you are seeing on the gage is a result of the shaking not causing it. Oil pressure drop the lower RPM it can drop real fast once your idle goes below 700 RPM. Fix your idle issue and I think your Oil pressure will be fine.

As to what is causing your shaking or bad idle there are a lot of things that can cause that. Bad gas, Leaking EGR valve, Tired IAC. Almost all your normal tune up stuff ect.
