Default 2017 F-150 Oil pressure

Hello, question about 2017 F-150 oil pressure. It seems like it’s a bit high looking at the picture. Any thoughts?

Before offering any explanations, it would be a good idea to get some addl info.

Was the motor oil recently changed and what grade was installed?

How fast was the engine running at the time the pix was taken?
The best way to assure everything is working correctly would be to connect an actual oil pressure gauge in the place of the oil pressure sending unit and confirm what the actual pressure really is.
What do you think?

Recently had an oil change 5W-30. Manufactures recommendation. It was running idol for about 5 min so RPM about 1500. Have you seen F-150 with oil pressure that high or is this normal.
thanks.

Under the circumstances described, it seems normal.
The actual numbers would clarify any concerns.

Thanks, appreciate it. I’ll have to get an oil pressure gauge on it.
