: Cold Oil pressures!!!

I jumped in my truck and went up the street, and I looked down and saw that the oil pressure gauge was almost 70 lbs of pressure. Is this normal?? When it warmed up and I slowed down to idle, I went down to 20-30psi which seems normal. Is this normal to be that high, or is that Amsoil just that good???

In the winter time, mine will show ~90 psi at idle until things get warmed up. And that is with Shell Rotella T 5w-40 in it.
