80psi is fine, my builder told me anything over 120psi and you risk blowing the rolled seal on the oil filter apart!!! They should have about 10-15psi at idle when warm.

haha, ive got an oldie VLT worn oil pump with leaking internal seals that struggles to get 5psi at idle when warm, about 1500rpms it manages about 20psi then goes way up from there, btw: You cant trust your oil pressure sender, many out there are so badly worn and if the cable is bad or high resistance or comes off then the dash tells you it has full pressure !~ <guh>
