Correct Oil Pressure?

At idle I have about 30psi oil pressure indicated on my oil pressure guage. Underway about 3-4000RMB, I have about 55-60psi indicated. Seems low.

What is normal/typical?

But I belive that is correct. Do you have enough oil in your engine. Check the dipstick.

I was in the same ballpark on oil pressure until I installed k&N oil filter. Now, when the car is hot, the oil pressure is around 15psi. When it's cold, the pressure is higher.
