I jumped in my car this morning and took off. On my way to work I noticed my oil pressure was at max the whole way to work (10 min drive). This is the first time I monitor oil pressure. Where should it be normally when driving?

Normal. When you have you foot on the gas it will be pinned to the right. Notice there is not red line on the high side, only the low.

No worries, drive on.

Now if it's maxed with your foot of the gas you have a problem.
