The oil pressure should be 10 psi for every 1K rpm's. Again, this is rule of thumb, and at cold temps, the pressure will definitely be higher.
I noticed when I ran Mobil 1 oil, the pressures were always higher than when I ran another brand of oil, and I always use synthetic.
I also have a separate oil pressure gauge (Saab), and it is always high in the morning (anywhere between 50 - 70 psi), but once the engine reaches normal operating temp, it drops down to the 10 psi per 1K rpm's, or even slightly higher at times.
