Default Re: Oil Pressure?

Judging by the tiny OEM gauge, I get:

Cold Idle ~57-62psi
Hot Idle ~45-50psi
Cold Cruise @ 2000rpm ~70psi
Hot Cruise @ 2000rpm ~60psi
Hot WOT @ 5500rpm ~77psi

I am running 6qts of 5W-30 synthetic and a Mobil M1-206 (long) filter. Looking at the dipstick, I'm about 10oz over the full mark.
