Not a problem, and pretty normal for a high volume oil pump and good bearings. Might even expect a bit higher on a cold start up.

jimm418 07-03-2014 10:52 PM

60 on cold start

jimm418 07-03-2014 10:59 PM

when cold it goes above 80 when revving up to 5k

jimm418 07-03-2014 11:00 PM

almost 90 is that bad?

jimm418 07-04-2014 12:17 AM

15w-40 royal purple when warm its 40 something and it maxes out at 75 maybe but thats 5k

Sounds pretty normal for a high volume pump and a tight engine to me. Would I like it a bit lower? Yes, but it's not seriously high, and I think your engine will be OK.
