oil change

hey guys, just wanted to find out if there was a good psi level to shoot for...just changed my oil to 20/50 and it seems like the psi is at a higher point than before...anyone have an opinion?

Overly high pressure is better than low.

60psi to 70psi is enough normal.

Mazda says 64-78psi at 3000rpm. Check it with a decent mechanical gauge, not the stock POS!

Mine says 10psi idle and 40 at 3000 RPM on the stock gauge. Been like that for 90K miles

Mine says 28-psi idle and 40psi at 3000. Is anything wrong with this. I use 10w-30
