If the oil is HOT during this check, then yes it's normal and perfectly acceptable.
If the oil was COLD during this check, you have low oil pressure, which is often caused by excessive bearing clearances. This would be very labour intensive to repair.
If it were my car, I'd run a synthetic 10w30 and see what happens. If the oil light doesn't come on anymore when the oil is HOT HOT HOT then just keep on truckin.
