Oil pressure in my 1LE around 60 PSI!!

Under normal driving conditions either in OD or Drive my oil psi is reading around 60..sometimes going over. My 1LE is a stock L98 with 23K miles on it. I just changed the oil to 5w-30 Mobil 1 and cleaned out the oil cooler....still no difference. ????? Any help would be appreciated.

Don't worry about your oil pressure being around 60 PSI or sometimes higher. Oil pressure at 60 PSI is not unusual and it is desirable. Too little oil pressure would be a problem, not 60 PSI.
