Default Oil Pressure.... Question?????

What is a normal operating oil pressure? and how high does it go as you get high in rpms....like 5000-6000??? I drove my car the other day and I don't know if the oil pressure always got that high and I never payed attention to it but it was fluchulating between 35-40lbs and 60-65lbs. I think this is normal but I just wanted reassurance.

Thanks,

Tom

Sounds normal

Mine's about 60 when cold. It runs at 30-40 but I see as low as 25 at idle.

What I was wondering is if it's normal that it goes from 35-40 to 60-65 lbs when I floor it?
