Relax - an oil change is a good thing - more oil pressure is a good thing - I'll let the experts explain. :lol:

man i wish my oil pressure was that good
nothing to worrie about aslong as it dont go to high like over 100psi then ya got's a blockage but all is fine it is just with the new oil it has a better viscosity (thicker) and will keep everything were it needs to be

I just rebuilt the 1360, oil pump is a new MiniSpares Sureflow..
With cheapo 20W/50 Valvoline SF oil for run in-
80psi cold,
75psi hot,
60-70psi idle hot.
Note it has a 9/16" ball relief valve, this keeps the idle pressure up as it can actually seal, unlike the POS standard valve. :wink:
And this is without the oil cooler.. I'll refit it before track days though. 8)
