Oil Pressure Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, need some help on my oil pressure concern. I just bought my truck in February and recently changed the oil for the first time. I used synthetic 5w30 and noticed that my oil pressure runs fairly high and am not sure if it is normal. Unfortunately, I didn't drive the truck, but maybe once/twice with the old oil, so not sure if what I'm seeing is normal. During idle, the pressure sits in between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark and regularly goes near the "H" when I accelerate. Is this normal?

Thanks!
David
