Default oil pressure

When my car is cold and i start start driving my oil pressure goes way up to 60 and a hair above anybody no what going on or is this normal? It goes down to normal(40) after she gets warm. I changed my oil and started using a different brand but it didnt start doing it till about a week after i changed it.

Default RE: oil pressure

This question has been asked a gazillion times. Your oil pressure is OK! Oil is thicker when cold so the pressure is higher, when the engine is warmed up the oil thins out and the pressure goes down.
