The oil pressure on the gauge is NOT TOO HIGH!!!.

If it were 100 psi then you might worry. If that were my engine, I would be ecstatic. For instance the Pontiac Ram Air V and 455 Super Duty engines used to have such high oil pressure that they would blow apart cheap oil filters (expensive ones were OK). Of course those were full flow systems, not the bypass type you are running.

The analogy with a garden hose on dirt is bulls**t.
