Default oil pressure?

I just changed my oil and the oil pressure gauge is reading higher than it had been. I swithed from an M1 filter to a carquest/wix filter. before I changed it the gauge would stay around 40 even under normal acceleration. With the new one it goes to about 60. Is this normal?

The Mobil 1 filter is very restrictive and will hurt oil pressure. I switched from Mobil 1 to K&N and gained 7psi.
