Default Changed oil last night. Oil Pressure running high

Last night, changed oil and filter. Oil is Mobil 1 (what I always use), however, I used a Mobil Filter for the first time.
I've read on the forum that Mobil filters will usually run at a higher pressure.

My oil pressure reading is 30 psi at idle, 42psi cruising, 58 psi when I step on it

Prior to this oil change, my pressure was 40 psi pretty much consistently

Anything to worry about here??? What is "NORMAL" oil pressure range?

Keep a close eye on the OP. Mine went hi and just replaced the sending unit.
W/ new unit my OP runs in the hi 50's cold then back in the hi 30's - low 40's when warm and driving.

Oil pressure should change, depending upon throttle position. I'd say what you see now is more normal than what you saw, before.
