if everything is running ok I wouldnt worry to much about it. Sounds to me like your oil pressure is great.

high oil pressure should never be a bad thing unless its like a high volume high pressure oil pump then all your oil would be up in the engine instead of lubing the crank and bearing in the bottom end. a high performance oil filter will cause a a little change as i said above. i'm running a K & N right now. it dropped slightly but still never drops below 35-40lbs and is almost pegged at 70mph down in interstate.

I have the same problem. I've only been noticing it the last few weeks, it might just be time for an oil change. My oil change lgiht just came on actually.
Normally the pressure would rarely drop below 50, sometimes it'd be closer to 60 when leaving work when it was cold.
Today it actually got down to a little over 20 when sitting at a light after a 40 minute trip. It idles at 600, btw.
It worried me, but I'm going to change the oil and get rid of the Fram filter. Hopefully that'll fix it.
