I'm thinking about taking it back to where the oil was changed to have them look at it first to make sure there is nothing wrong with the oil, but then I'm wondering if I should take it to the dealer? I have 1300 miles on it by the way.
when you accellerate, your motor spins faster, which spins the oil pump faster, which pumps the pressure up.

if it is spiking up with no load (including the a/c) then you might have something going on. but if its only when you are accellerating, thats normal for oil pressure to rise up with RPM.
