Well, almost anywhere in between 30 and 60 psi is considered normal across the spectrum. The pressure will vary with what weight and viscosity oil you are running and the ambient temperature of your area.

The stock gauges are not that accurate to begin with. If you're honestly worried, go get a pressure test done to know for sure.

If your worried get it tested like that he mention above. that what i did. But it turns out my guage is not working correctly. and everything is normal. You should be ok. My guage wont even go up that far. it would only sometime went to 60psi and stay there or be at 30 psi and stay there. it might go up every once an a while.
