uh oh oil pressure is high
 
Ok so I made a video of my car last week and someone posted a comment saying "why is your oil pressure so high" I looked and finally saw it for my self. To get to the point what is the problem. Thanks

60psi on a cold engine isn't high. not to mention it's a crappy factory guage and sender. hook it up to a mechanical guage and you'll see. what oil are you running also?

when it is cold out and you said you had just started it up they will always read higher till the engine is fully warmed up, mine and wuite a few other ppl i know have the same issue, once it warms up they will drop to about 30-40 psi. mine is a different story.since i have a 355 decently built with a high volume oil pump when mine is cold it has 75 psi at idle then once it warms up its 45-50. so i dont think you have anything to worry about

ok because I just got the car and didnt want it to have problems starting already and I dont know what oil is in it because I just bought it but I would say 10w-30

Yeah, whoever made the comment obviously didn't bother to look at your temp sensor, completely normal.
